"The Miser"
December 1, 7:30  p.m.
DeWitt Theatre 

"Moliere's 'The Miser' is a classic comedy about young love, foolish fathers, clever servants, disguises and mistaken identities." It tells the story of penny-pinching, Harpagon, a man who loves nothing more than his beloved cash box - not even his own children. His children are falling in love. Tensions rise when father and son fall in love with the same woman. With love on their minds, no one seems to notice when Harpagon's cash box suddenly goes missing. With a bit of manipulation, quick wit and comedy, Moliere's timeless piece explores the humorous and ultimately isolating impact greed can have on an individual.

Tickets on sale.
