THE IMAGINARY INVALID
 

Join Molière in the Park, in partnership with Domino Park, for a hilarious FREE staged reading of Molière's legendary French comedy, The Imaginary Invalid, featuring cello music and FlexN choreography!

Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren’t we all? Argan wants absolute control. But who is he hoping to save? When there is no other way out, it will take the ingenuity of all the women around him to save the family.
 
Line Producer is Molly FitzMaurice. Production Stage Manager is Tala Munsterman.
 
Domino Square is the newest addition to Domino Park, an amphitheater and public plaza designed to host public programming accessible to all.

This special evening includes live theater and music, the chance to mingle with fellow community members and fabulous artists in an intimate setting, and the presentation of MIP’s annual Shoulder-to-Shoulder Award. It’s like going to an MIP performance, but with Broadway tunes, drinks and fancy outfits. How could you miss it??
 
The evening, hosted by Broadway sensation Sierra Boggess, includes performances by stage legend Bill Irwin and MIP alumni artists, Michelle Veintimilla, Lisa Gorlitsky and Yonatan Gebeyehu, cello music by Johnathan Moore, FlexN dancing by Cal Hunt, and a performance by Hamilton cast member Eddy Lee. Witness this fantastic lineup alongside fellow MIP community members and artists while enjoying food from Night Kitchen BK and drinks sponsored by Aupale Vodka, and finish the night with the DJ set by Sahr Ngaujah.

Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso will be honored as this year’s recipient of MIP’s Shoulder-to-Shoulder Award.
 
Molière in the Park created the “MIP Shoulder-to-Shoulder Award” to honor individuals whose work reflects a core belief of Molière in the Park: that it is vital to build and sustain spaces where people of all cultural and racial backgrounds can come together—sitting shoulder to shoulder—to create and/or experience art. Through this award they seek to honor those who contribute to a sense of common humanity and unity despite everything that seemingly makes us different.
 
Tickets for the gala start at $125 and include:
Food and drinks courtesy of Night Kitchen BK
Fabulous dance, music and theater performances performed by MIP alumna artists, including hilarious Molière excerpts but also, Broadway hit songs, and sneak peaks at new material developed by friends of MIP
A silent auction including destination getaways in the Alps and more
And a post-show DJ, because is it even a party without an opportunity to hit the dance floor?

ABOUT MOLIÈRE IN THE PARK
 

Molière in the Park is like Shakespeare in the Park’s cool French cousin who lives in Brooklyn. MIP presents a contemporary production of a Moliere play every year for three weeks in Prospect Park and additional readings and events throughout the year. Always free. Always world class theater.
 
MIP believes that Molière’s plays, when produced through an inclusive and contemporary lens, explore the human condition in a way that promotes generosity of spirit, fosters unity over division, and spreads joy. Something we all need nowadays.
 
Molière in the Park believes that arts experiences spark ideas and conversations, keep history alive, challenge prejudice, and increase civic participation, but not all communities have equal access to these experiences. MIP seeks to address these inequalities by providing ALL Brooklynites with the benefits of high-quality theater at no cost. Thus far in 2025, 7,456 individuals have reserved a ticket to one of their shows, with 61% of their Brooklyn audience coming from low-income zip codes and 45% from historically underrepresented communities where the majority of residents are people of color.
