It’s Eliza Doolittle Day…

Last week, when I went to see My Fair Lady, it stuck out to me – that little bit about the King declaring May 20 as “Eliza Doolittle Day.” I remember thinking – that’s next week – I wonder if they changed that just to make it this month.
Nope…that’s the way it was written, and today at 5:30pm at the Town Council Meeting the mayor (not the king) will declare “the 20th of May” as ED Day. (Thanks, Keith Keyser, for calling me last night to tell me!)
Last four shows are tonight through Sunday at the Community Theatre.
Here’s the scene where the “20th of May” line comes up, in the movie with Marni Nixon singing for Audrey Hepburn. (The movie is awesome, but our play here on the island is better, if you ask me.)
