By Molière (translated by Richard Wilbur)
Directed by Mark H.

The notorious rake Don Juan defies conventional morality with his scandalous affairs, deceitful behavior, and blasphemy. Accompanied by his faithful but reluctant servant Sganarelle, Don Juan tries to stay one step ahead of scorned lovers, vengeful brothers, a disappointed father, and evil spirits intent on his destruction. Can the libertine’s soul be redeemed or do the gates of Hell beckon?
Director Mark H. leads cast members Ashley Alberte, Reez Bailey, Francis Faye, Joseph Green, Allison Hesselberg, Trygve L. Lebakken, Liam McCarthy, Hana Schuricht, Jacob Shipley, and Ryan Siddell in an inventive production of the classic Molière play.
