The Miser

Performed at Gallaudet University's Eastman Studio Theatre
June 2nd - June 26th, 2016

*Helen Hayes Awards Recommended*

One of Molière's most popular comedies, The Miser also shows his deep indebtedness to Commedia, his playful, lightning–fast dialogue perfectly complementing the Fools' signature high–energy physical style. Five daring actors bring a cast of sharp–witted characters to life in this rollicking tale of one man's love for his cash box.

Washington Post says of “The Miser”:
“Boasting a brisk pace, a jubilant tone and a generous endowment of gags and masks, this 90-minute “Miser” is an unusually accessible, enjoyably lively rendition of a classic. ”
