In what can be seen as a departure from its more usual fare, Off-Broadstreet Theater is presenting a classic, George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” Completed in 1912, it was Shaw’s 28th play (he wrote more than 50).

Only one thing matters more to singer/songwriter Luke Elliot than writing or performing: knowing that he has moved his audience. “What I want people to take away from my music is a sense of connection, a sense of satisfaction,” Elliot says.
