Penn President Amy Gutmann attended the Mask and Wig’s fall show – “I Am What I Amazon” at the Iron Gate Theatre.

The Mask and Wig Club, founded in 1889 by Clayton Fotterall McMichael, is the oldest all-male collegiate musical comedy troupe in the United States. Founded as an alternative to the existing theatrical and dramatic outlets at the University of Pennsylvania, Mask and Wig has presented comedy, music, and dancing to the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and audiences across the country. The Club’s performers, or “The Cast” stage two all-original shows each year in collaboration with the Club’s own Stage Crew, Band, and Business Staff.
