The Classics Theatre Project had preview audiences marveling at just how hilarious a 17th century comedy can be with its production of Molière's THE IMAGINARY INVALID. Adapted and directed by Joey Folsom, this precursor to the modern farce proves the perfect example of why Molière is consider one of the greatest comedy writers of all time.

Considered one of the world's greatest comedic dramatists, Molière's quick-witted style of analyzing 17th Century French society, through uproariously sending up the types of people comprising it, was a driving factor in the evolution of social comedy and what has made his work endure through its humorous insights into human nature.

A rad, new, 1990's nostalgia-filled adaptation of William Shakespeare's MUCH ADO ABOUT THE NOTHING brings the quintessential summer experience of Shakespeare under the stars to Addison/North Dallas.

Fasten your seat belts, Boeing, Boeing is landing in Irving. This fast-moving farce features self-styled lothario Bernard, who has Italian, German and American fiancees, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent 'layovers.' He keeps 'one up, one down, and one pending' until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and Bernard's apartment, at the same time.
