SCAPIN Runs 12/3-1/3/2010 At St. Stphens Theatre

Scapin makes its Philadelphia Premiere. By Bill Irwin and Mark O'Donnell
Adapted from Jean Baptiste Molière, Directed by Aaron Cromie, Runs December 3 - January 3

Adaptors Bill Irwin (The Happiness Lecture) and Mark O'Donnell soak Molière's sharp-edged comedy in vaudevillian clownery! This offbeat re-imagining of the classic puts Molière's famous servant Scapin (pronounced skuh-PAN) at the center of an inventive interaction between actors and puppets. EnJoy Serious silliness in a production stuffed with chase scenes, revenge plots, slapstick and spoofery, live music, and lots of theater magic for the entire family.

Featuring Benjamin Lloyd, Dave Johnson, Bradley K. Wrenn, Leah Walton, and Mathew Wright.
