University Liggett School Players present “Mack and Mabel”

Staged during the 50th anniversary of its Broadway debut, Mack and Mabel traces the real-life romance between director Mack Sennett and silent film star Mabel Normand. The musical brings to life the comedy and charm of the era with legendary characters, including the Keystone Cops, Charlie Chaplin, and Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle. Originally featuring Robert Preston and Bernadette Peters, this silver anniversary production promises to deliver the same emotional depth and nostalgic humor that made the show a classic.

The Liggett Players’ cast features seniors Ari Medvinsky as Mack and Alexa Kalyvas as Mabel. Joining them are Madison Reeves, Nico Abule, Sishir Chamiraju, Max Brown, and Zaire Polk in lead and supporting roles. Audiences will be transported to the bustling set of Keystone Pictures, where the flickering silent films mirror the budding romance between Mack and Mabel.
