Rice Theatre Program Presents TARTUFFE, Opening 11/9
by Kelsey Denette
- Sep 14, 2012
"Tartuffe, or the Imposter," is perhaps Moliere's most famous comic masterpiece. The plot revolves around a pompous head of household taken in by a cunning charlatan, under the religious cloak of piety. Tartuffe seeks to marry his benefactor's daughter, seduce his wife and gain the family fortune. Moliere gives us a farce with a scathing wit as he roasts religion, hypocrisy and sexual deceit.

ArtsWest Presents the Northwest Premiere of BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON, 9/19-10/20
by Nicole Rosky
- Sep 10, 2012
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is a sharp-witted musical comedy about the life of America's original political maverick that reimagines and reinvents the life of President Andrew Jackson, and sets it to an infectious emo rock score. In keeping with the mission of ArtsWest, it's a fiercely compelling event that will surely inspire conversation. It's a blast from the past that parallels today's political climate, depicting the birth of Democracy soaked in Emocracy and testosterone. The show reveals our nation's growing pains, and those of Jackson himself. He was unexpectedly famous, and thrust into leading a country. He is sometimes called the American Hitler. He asked for forgiveness rather than permission for what he did.
