PHAMALY presents The Elephant Man

"The Elephant Man" chronicles the true story of John Merrick, treated as a fairground freak because of his hideously deformed body. Abandoned and helpless, Merrick is discovered by a young doctor who provides him with a home in a London hospital. While no longer a victim of beatings and abuse, he becomes an object of curiosity to exploit among the upper class.

PHAMALY (The Physically Handicapped Actors & Musical Artists League) presents encore performances of “The Elephant Man” at the Arvada Center for the Arts & Humanities, Friday, February 24 and Saturday, February 25 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, February 26 at 2 p.m..
