Always speaking from the depths of their souls, you’ll hear diosyncratic characters deliver extraordinary monologues that amuse, move, and frighten—including a baton twirler, a fundamentalist snake handler, an ex-rodeo rider, and an actress willing to go to any length to get a job.

Now in their thirties, they struggle to make a new life, one that will lead them out of poverty.

April 6–11, 2010 |
Performances Vary |
Location: Black Box Theatre

By Molière

Directed by Brian Rose

Molière is the second most produced playwright after Shakespeare and Tartuffe is a favorite. An exposé of the religious fervor and hypocrisy, it has been performed for more than 350 years. Reset in this production from Paris to modern, money-soaked Texas, Christopher Hampton's wonderful blank verse translation tells the story of rich businessman Orgon’s devotion to the radical preacher Tartuffe, who is in fact an arch-con-man.
Performances:
4/6–7:30 p.m. | 4/7–7:30 p.m. | 4/8–7:30 p.m. | 4/9–11:00 a.m. & 7:30 p.m. | 4/10–8:00 p.m. | 4/11–2:00 p.m.
