ADRIAN COLLEGE THEATRE PRESENTS 'THE TRICKERIES OF SCAPIN' posted 4/4/05

The Adrian College Theater Department presents Jean Baptise Moliere's "The Trickeries of Scapin," translated by Tunc Yalman, April 14 - 16.

While two miserly old fathers are away from home on business, their sons become romantically involved with girls who are not up to social standards, despite the watchfulness of their servants who are supposed to keep them out of trouble. When the fathers return, they announce their own marital plans for the boys. It is left up to the clever servant, Scapin, to outwit the pretentious fathers.

In this Adrian College production, the department will serve the play up with its own twist of ingenuity: reversal of gender roles by the actors for a study in comedy and stereotypes.

Curtain time is 8 p.m. each day in Downs Hall Theatre, with an extra show at 2 p.m. on April 16. Downs Hall is located on Madison Street. Ticket prices are $5 for the general public and $3 for students and seniors. For further information please call 517-264-3922.
