The School for Lies
By: David Ives
July (2020) 31, August 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15
Directed by: Allison Schrader
Synopsis:
(Comedy) Adapted from Le Misanthrope by Molière. It’s 1666 and the brightest, wittiest salon in Paris is that of Celimene, a beautiful young widow so known for her satiric tongue she’s being sued for it. Surrounded by shallow suitors, whom she lives off of without surrendering to, Celimene has managed to evade love since her beloved husband died—until today, when Frank appears.
A traveler from England known for his own coruscating wit and acidic misanthropy, Frank turns Celimene’s world upside-down, taking on her suitors, matching her barb for barb, and teaching her how to live again. (Never mind that their love affair has been engineered by a couple of well-placed lies.) This wild farce of furious tempo and stunning verbal display, all in very contemporary couplets, runs variations on Molière’s The Misanthrope, which inspired it.
Another incomparable romp from the brilliant author of All in the Timing.
Cast:
- Doug Layne as Frank
- Leah O’Hara as Celimene
- Evan Connors as Philinte
- Shaelyn Parker as Eliante
- Andrea Ambs as Arsinoë
- Jon Zucker as Oronte
- John Silbaugh as Clitander
- Tim Schumann as Acaste
- Nick Pinault as Dubois / Basque

The Tell-Tale Farce
(CANCELLED)
By: Don ZolidisJune (2020) 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20
Directed by: Jim Kirkwood
Synopsis:
(Farce) It’s 1848, and Edgar Allan Poe is just coming off the spectacular success of “The Raven.” Unfortunately, it’s only earned him a grand total of nine dollars. So when a wealthy dowager commissions him to write her a poem for the vast sum of one hundred dollars, he leaps at the chance. Only problem: the man who shows up to write the poem isn’t Poe, he’s Poe’s mailman, and he’s on a quest to woo the dowager’s spinster niece. Playing Poe is harder than it looks, though, especially when your mustache keeps falling off, the teenage grand-daughter of the house is lusting after you, and Poe’s arch-nemesis, Rufus Griswold, just happens to be dropping by to settle old scores. A freewheeling, door-slamming farce with a touch of the macabre.
