Biographical History
The Mask and Wig Club was founded in 1889 by Clayton Fotteral McMichael as an all-male performance group. In that year, a notice posted in College Hall urged students to try out for the new club. The club staged their first production, Lurline, at the Chestnut Street Opera House. Since then, the "Wiggers" have annually entertained the University of Pennsylvania community with their burlesques and original revues. Productions are musical comedies which often satirize current events and University life. Rehearsals and social activities take place at the clubhouse located on Quince Street in Philadelphia.
