2nd Story Theatre revisits its most produced and popular playwright with its production of 'The School for Wives' by Molière, translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur, from November 12 -
December 12. 'The School for Wives' revolves around an insecure man who contrives to show the world how to avoid the fate of cuckoldry by marrying the perfect bride. Richard Wilbur's translation perfectly captures Molière's joyous theatricality. The appeal of a battle of wits, rhyming verse, mercurial shifts from sacred to profane, the soaring poetry and the base humor, all help make Molière's comedies as fresh today as when they were first written.

After eighty-six years, the Grand Theater - home of The Road Company since 1976 - literally fell silent on May 14, 2010 when its roof collapsed, destroying the entire venue. This was a devastating tragedy for theater-goers throughout the Delaware Valley and, in particular, hit Southern New Jersey with significant impact - the 'home' that many actors, actresses, volunteers, and audiences once held close to their hearts, was gone. After evaluating the damage, it was discovered that approximately $250,000 would be needed, beyond the amount covered by insurance, to rebuild the Grand Theater, founded in 1924. Despite this daunting figure the ever-resilient Road Company family was determined to rebuild the theater and in doing so established the 'Make It Grand Again Campaign' fund.
