The Mask and Wig Club, founded in 1889, is the oldest all-male collegiate musical comedy troupe in the United States. A comedic production, Mask and Wig shows appeal to a broad range of audiences. In October, Mask and Wig performs on Penn’s campus for a weekend in October. In the spring, Mask and Wig members create a full-length musical. Each year’s Annual Production opens in the last week of Janu

ary and runs until early April. For over a century, Mask and Wig shows have been amazing audiences in Philadelphia and around the country. Performances feature live entertainment with 9-piece student band, a breathtaking tap dance at the end of the first act, and musical numbers that will be sure to dazzle and delight. Each show begins with a cocktail hour, and ends with a floorshow where Club members perform tried and true bits. The Mask and Wig Club House is also available for rentals. Please enquire on our website should you wish to learn more.
