THE MISANTHROPE Runs at The Bryant-Lake Bowl thru Jan 17
A brand new production of the classic comedy The Misanthrope is running at The Bryant-Lake Bowl in Minneapolis through January 17.
Director Adrian Balbontin's contemporary adaptation of Moliere's cynical couplet comedy of mis-manners transports the action from the salons of 17th Century France to the studios of today's New York fashion scene; where you cut your teeth by cutting people down as you claw your way to the top.
The production stars Sam Pearson as Alceste, the misanthropic designer desperate to escape the hypocrisy of society and the couture life at large, and features Charla Marie Bailey, Brian Coffin, Devon Cox, Nathan Gebhard, Anni Jordan-Amberg, Pegeen Lamb, Todd O'Dowd, and Joe Scheller. A live band will also accompany throughout the 90- minute performance.
The production team includes Jenna Rose Graupmann (Costumes), Maya Baglein, Lauren Endorf, Sasha Ivanosky-Schow, Greg Novak, and Joe Scheller, (Music) and Emily Sullivan (Stage Manager).
The Misanthrope runs through Sat., Jan. 17; with performances on Thurs. Jan. 8 & 15 at 7pm, and Fri., Jan. 9 & 16 and Sat. Jan. 10 & 17 at 10pm. Admission is $10-15 sliding scale. All performances will take place at The Bryant-Lake Bowl, located at 810 W Lake St in Minneapolis. For tickets, call the Bryant-Lake Bowl's box office at 612.825.8949 or log on to bryantlakebowl.com.
