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.

Goodman Theatre celebrates its 10th season in Chicago's North Loop Theatre District with a fresh take on an enduring masterpiece- Candide, Voltaire's effervescent, picaresque adventure, newly adapted and directed by Chicago's own Mary Zimmerman, the Goodman's Manilow Resident Director. A cast of 19 and an orchestra of 12, under the direction of Music Director Doug Peck, bring to life nearly 30 songs in Leonard Bernstein's glorious score, and recreate Voltaire's satirical story of Candide (Geoff Packard)-a young optimist shipwrecked, soldiered, swindled and separated (repeatedly) from his true love, Cunegonde (Lauren Molina). For this major revival, Zimmerman has tapped her signature design team-Daniel Ostling (Set), Mara Blumenfeld (Costumes), T.J. Gerkens (Lighting) and Richard Woodbury (Sound). Danny Pelzig choreographs the cataclysmic events that ensue.
