Click here for directions. From Moliere With Love! will be directed by Stephen Russo, a versatile performer and director with many community theatres. The plays, originally written in French, are presented using excellent English translations by Alfred Bermel, one in prose and one in verse. The first show, The Imaginary Cuckold, is a comic tale of romance and suspicion that unfolds in a delicious French melange of misunderstandings and mistaken identity. In the second show, The Forced Marriage, the question is: Will his friends' opinions (and his own cold feet) lead a middle-aged bachelor away from the altar? Everyone gives him conflicting advice, avoids the question, or heaps on the abuse. The actors in The Imaginary Cuckold include: Larry Segel as Gorgibus, the materialistic father; Lisa Scopa as Celie, the young bride; Brian Dion as Sganarelle, the cuckolded husband; Laura Schrader as Martine, his jealous wife; Catherine Hersh as Lisette, the clever servant; Keith Swiniarski as Lelie, the anxious boyfriend; Nicholas Beach as Gros-Rene, the hungry servant; Beca Gates as Dorante, the indifferent mother-in-law; and Steve Friedman as Villebrequin, a friend with astonishing news. The players in The Forced Marriage include: Steve Walsh as Sganarelle, the hesitant groom; Steve Friedman as Geronimo, his calculating friend; Jacqui DiGenio as Dorimene, the playful bride; Brian Buchanan as Lycaste, her secret lover; John Greene as Pancrace, the Aristotelian philosopher; Nicholas Beach as Marphurius, the skeptical philosopher; Stacey Wilson as Alcantor, the bride's mother; and Keith Swiniarski as Alcidas, the bride's hot-headed brother. The Gypsy ladies include Meaghan Cronin, Beca Gates, Brittnay Mitchell, and Sherri Raftery.
