Theatre in the Round Players Presents RING ROUND THE MOON, 2/11-3/6

Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) presents the classic romantic farce "Ring Round the Moon" by Jean Anouilh (translated by Christopher Fry) in weekend performances February 11 through March 6, 2011.

A grand ball is the setting for an enchanted evening of innocent young lovers, mistaken identities, scheming sophisticates -- and identical twin brothers. "Ring Round the Moon" is French playwright Anouilh's most produced work in this country, a fairy tale atmosphere with a smart satirical bite, funny and utterly charming.

Leah Cooper directs a cast of twelve, including Nicholas Leeman as twin brothers Hugo and Frederick, Maggie Bearmon Pistner as Madame Desmortes, Rachel Weber as Diana, and Lindsay Marcy as Isabelle. Sets are designed by Andrea Heilman and Kate Elise, costumes by Sarah French, and lighting by Peter Mitchell.

An audience discussion with director Cooper and members of the company will follow the matinee performance on Sunday, February 20th.

Tickets are $20, with discounts for seniors and a student price of $10 on Fridays and Sundays. For information, call the theatre's box office at 612-333-3010 or visit its website at www.TheatreintheRound.org.
