30 Oct. - 2 Nov. 2025 THE MISER The Miser Thursday, October 30 – Sunday, November 2 Glaize Studio Theatre $18 Get Tickets Thursday, October 30 at 7:30PM Written by Molière Directed by Paul Mason Barnes In a world obsessed with wealth, power and control, Molière’s classic comedy feels as fresh — and ruthless — as ever. Harpagon is a tyrannical penny-pincher who values money above family, freedom and love. When he announces plans to marry the much younger Mariane (who happens to be in love with his son) and force his daughter into a loveless but profitable match, the house revolts. Schemes are hatched, secrets are revealed and Harpagon’s beloved stash of gold suddenly vanishes — sending him into a full-blown panic that pulls everyone, even the audience, into the chaos. Under the direction of guest artist Paul Mason Barnes, The Miser is packed with sharp wit, wild reversals and a not-so-subtle jab at the cost of greed — a bold, biting reminder that some things should never be for sale. Suggested Show Rating: PG-13 Paul Mason Barnes’ residency at Shenandoah Conservatory is made possible by the Lewis Endowed Fund for Excellence in Acting Training.
