EST. 1889
The United States’ premier collegiate musical comedy troupe
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 globe. Staging two all-original productions each year, the Club’s primary purpose remains:
“Justice to the stage; credit to the University.”
The Mask and Wig Clubhouse
Dating to the early 1800s, the Clubhouse is Mask and Wig’s National Historic Site home. With an unchanged historic atmosphere, but with modern amenities enabled by a recent major renovation, the Clubhouse is ideal for social or business gatherings.
