Step back into yesteryear in this saga of the silent film era "when movies were movies." Mack and Mabel deals with the complex relationship between legendary film director Mack Sennett, a temperamental, workaholic and the adorable Mabel Normand, a waitress who became one of his biggest stars.
Told in flashback style, by Mack himself as narrator, a broken man, made obsolete by talkies, bankrupt and forced to sell his studio. He reminisces about the past, recalling his triumphs, his love affair with Mabel and her rise to stardom.
“Mack and Mabel” was written by Michael Stewart and Leonard Spigelgass with Music and Lyrics by Tony Award Winner Jerry Herman. This show is produced by Mark Loveless and is directed Kirsten Giard and George Bailey.
