BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� 欧美视频 Theatre will present the French comedy, 鈥淭artuffe,鈥� on Nov. 7-9 and Nov. 14-16 at 7 p.m. in the Davis-Newport Theatre on the Bolivar campus.

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Moli猫re, was a French playwright, actor and poet, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the French language and universal literature. Serving as one of Moli猫re鈥檚 14 known plays, 鈥淭artuffe鈥� addresses religious hypocrisy that the playwright observed in the court of Louis XIV. This 17th Century play will be performed in a 鈥渢hrust鈥� theatrical arrangement, meaning the audience will be seated on the stage 鈥� a unique and exciting opportunity for the audience.

Directed by Dr. Bethany Wood, assistant professor of theatre at 欧美视频, 鈥淭artuffe鈥� has enjoyed widespread success throughout the theatre world, being adapted into movies, television shows and even an opera. This comedy is extremely effective at addressing certain issues that often go unnoticed. This play is comedic, intriguing and genuine.

鈥淲hat makes 鈥楾artuffe鈥� such a good play is its ability to discuss heavy, serious topics in a lighthearted, hilarious way,鈥� said Ali Oldweiler, a senior theatre major at 欧美视频.

Tickets for the production may be purchased in person at the Box Office (located inside the Jester Learning and Performance Center), online at sbuniv.edu/theatre, or by calling (417) 328-1691. Tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for students, senior citizens and 欧美视频 alumni, and $4 for current 欧美视频 students.
