$Opening Night of Moliere\u2019s The Misanthrope$

Join us as the Forest Park Theatre performs Moliere’s The Misanthrope, translated by Richard Wilbur
About this Event

Following the success of our free summer Shakespeare productions, we are thrilled to announce that Forest Park Theatre will expand to year-round programming this fall.

The Misanthrope is a scintillating comedy of hypocrisy, lying, shallowness, and self-righteousness that remains as relevant today as it was when it was written in the 17 th century. Richard Wilbur’s translation of Moliere’s story of Alceste, a man whose conscience and sincerity are too rigorous for his time, is considered one of the towering achievements of 20th-century poetry. Satirical, hilarious and romantic, TheMisanthrope is the perfect play for the election season.

Opening night is also a fundraiser for the 2024/2025 seaon. Your ticket price includes a show ticket and appetizers before the show and at intermission. All proceeds from ticket sales go towards the 2024/2025 season. We hope you can join us.
