Mack and Mabel, A Musical Love Story
by Alchemy Theatre Company

Feb. 16 - Feb. 20 (2022)

It is 1938, and the days of the silent film are over. In a series of flashbacks from the sound stage of the studio he once dominated, the great Hollywood comic director, Mack Sennett, recalls his once luminous career and his tumultuous relationship with Mabel Normand – star of dozens of his early “two-reelers”. The Alchemy Theatre once again brings its unique and powerful storytelling to a re-envisioned version of this timeless, real-life love story.
