Idle Muse Theatre Company's production of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The School for Scandal, directed by Evan Jackson, is now playing through April 12 at The Edge Off-Broadway Theater, 1133 W Catalpa Ave. See photos from the production.

The performance schedule is Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. with an additional performance Wednesday, April 9 at 8 p.m. General admission tickets are now on sale for $30, $20 for students and seniors, at IdleMuse.org or the Idle Muse Theatre Company Box Office, 773.340.9438.

Welcome to the School for Scandal, a cadre of social elite who invented influencer culture, catfishing and parasocial relationships 300 years before the rise of social media. Idle Muse sends up celebrity society and the idle rich in this fresh cut of Sheridan's boundary-smashing comedy of manners, which first premiered in 1777. At the School for Scandal, it doesn't matter what's being said - as long as you're the one saying it.
