Featuring an extended introduction with a guest from the Huntington's production of We Had a World

When young, impressionable Patrick Dennis' millionaire father dies, the boy is left in the care of his only living relative—his flamboyant, extravagant, devil-may-care... and never, never dull Auntie Mame. New York during the Jazz Age—Despite the best efforts of estate executive Dwight Babcock (Fred Clark) to rear Patrick (Jan Handzlik and Roger Smith) as a boring, stuffy aristocrat, the boy is swept into Mame Dennis' (Rosalind Russell) world of parties, flappers and the most eccentric, entertaining, intelligent set of friends anywhere. Through the stock market crash, a marriage to a rich Southerner and his death while scaling the Alps, Mame's whirlwind approach to life opens Patrick's eyes to endless possibilities. Based on the hit Broadway play and the novel by Patrick Dennis.

We Had a World plays at The Huntington Calderwood Pavilion from February 12 to March 15, 2026. For additional information and tickets, please visit: huntingtontheatre.org
