The Classical Theatre Lab & the City of West Hollywood to Present THE MISANTHROPE

The Classical Theatre Lab and the City of West Hollywood present Moliere's comic masterpiece The Misanthrope, freely adapted and directed by award-winning director Tony Tanner, produced by Suzanne Hunt and Alex Wells.

Love hurts and so does honesty in this hilarious classic French comedy when the hero, Alceste, is torn between devotion to absolute truth and desire for the beautiful and cruelly witty social butterfly, Celimene. His outspokenness threatens to turn his world upside down after he delivers a devastating critique of a nobleman's sonnet.

The play runs Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 4:00PM, July 11th through August 16th (dark Sundays July 26th and Aug. 2nd). Opening reception after July 11th - 4:00 PM show. Outdoors at Kings Road Park, 1000 N. Kings Road, West Hollywood 90069. Admission free. Donations welcomed. Reservations recommended. (323) 960-5691.

Cast includes the talents of Thomas Anawalt, Jeffrey Scott Basham, Mike Bingaman, Christina Jacquelyn Calph, Kathy Bell Denton, Michael Faulkner, Rebecca Lincoln, Christopher Salazar and Alex Wells (Aug. 8 & Aug. 9 in for Michael Faulkner).

The Classical Theatre Lab was honored in 2015 with several nominations at the first Stage Raw Awards for excellence in theatre.
