Is There A Doctor in The House?

So, a while back in December, around the 11th and 12th, (if memory serves) tryouts for our school play were held by the Drama Department Director, Ms. Harms. This post will include a brief synopsis of the play and a link to a page featuring the playwright.

"Is There A Doctor in The House" is a comedy western adapted from the work of a famous, French 14th century playwright known as Molière that focuses on a girl that fakes losing her voice to avoid a forced marriage organized by her father. Multiple characters attempt to find solutions in the form of many different doctors. As such, when they all come back, it degrades into chaos. The performance utilizes fast-paced slapstick routines, one-liners and seemingly infinite repetition.

Come see our performance on Feb. 25th!

Moliere is a hoot! My son played Orgon in Tartuffe last year, which is also by Moliere. I had never heard of it before, but I enjoyed the sense of humor so much! Can't wait for this one! What part do you play? How are rehearsals going? Also - where's that hyperlink to the playwright. :)
