Victor Hugo's epic story, Les Miserables, recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and not only becomes an honest man, but the mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean's adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed.

Les Miserables (school edition) will be Directed and Choreographed by Matthews Playhouse Artistic Associate Robbie Jaeger, with musical direction by Ryan Stamey. The show will run April 24-May 1. For more information visit www.matthewsplayhouse.com.
