Shaw’s ARMS AND THE MAN, Kelsey Theatre

Sunday January 18, 2026
2:00 PM

One of George Bernard Shaw’s most enduringly popular comedies follows a hunted soldier who, seeking refuge in a young lady’s boudoir, starts in motion a series of unlikely comedic events. His unusual philosophies about life in general open up a world of thought she’s never previously entertained- certainly not with her dashing war-hero fiancée who also arrives unexpectedly. This early work of Shaw’s is a sparkling examination of romance, sex, love, political maneuverings, war, hope, and chocolate! $24/$22 PG
