Molière In The Park Will Present Free Staged Reading of THE IMAGINARY INVALID Tonight at Domino Park

Molière in the Park will present a free staged reading of Molière’s The Imaginary Invalid tonight, September 26, at 7 p.m. at Domino Square in Brooklyn’s Domino Park. The event will feature live cello music and FlexN choreography.

Translated, adapted, and directed by Molière in the Park’s Founding Artistic Director Lucie Tiberghien, the reading is choreographed by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, with original music composed and performed live by cellist Johnathan Moore.

The cast includes Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JéPaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Ebonée Noel, Damian Thompson, and Cal Hunt. Molly FitzMaurice serves as Line Producer, with Tala Munsterman as Production Stage Manager.

The Imaginary Invalid tells the story of Argan, a man obsessed with illness and control, who finds himself in a battle not only with his imagined ailments but also with the truth of mortality. In the end, it is the women around him who must use their ingenuity to save the family.

Domino Square, a new amphitheater and plaza within Domino Park, is hosting its first summer of arts programming this year. Molière in the Park’s reading adds to a season of cultural events designed to bring community together through accessible, world-class performance.
