Lady lessons

Those in the mood for some guidance on manners and mores should check out this outstanding production of My Fair Lady, currently on stage at the Woodland Opera House, under the direction and choreography of Andrea St Clair.

Rodger McDonald makes for the perfect Henry Higgins—that stern taskmaster with a touch of levity who is surprised to discover he actually has feelings.

Likewise, Jori Gonzales is a loverly Eliza; the actress easily transforms from a ragtag Cockney flower girl to pseudo duchess. It’s Brian McCann, however, who’s the real showstopper as Eliza’s profligate father, Alfred Doolittle. The show runs through August 27. 7:30 p.m. Friday, August 11 and Saturday, August 12; 2 p.m. Sunday, August 13. $7-$25. Woodland Opera House, 340 2nd Street in Woodland; (530) 666-9617.
