Opening Night of Moliere’s The Misanthrope

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.
