Auditions to be hosted for ‘Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding’
The Theatre Department at Tulsa Community College has announced several upcoming productions and an audition.
Tartuffe by Moliere, Oct. 3-6
The Theatre Department is gearing up for an exciting new production of Tartuffe, adapted by Timothy Mooney and directed by Mark Frank, associate professor of theatre and coordinator of the Theatre Department. The award-winning play is set to hit the stage at the VanTrease PACE Studio Theatre on the Southeast Campus, Oct. 3-5 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 6 at 2 p.m.
Moliere’s Tartuffe is a timeless hilarious comedic masterpiece that satirizes religious hypocrisy and societal pretensions. Set in 17th century France, the play revolves around Orgon, a wealthy bourgeois who has taken in Tartuffe, a religious imposter, into his home.
Tartuffe’s outward displays of piety deceive Orgon to the point of promising him his daughter’s hand in marriage and bestowing his wealth upon him. However, Tartuffe’s true motives and manipulative nature become increasingly evident as he attempts to seduce Orgon’s wife and seize control of the household. The play escalates into a hilarious and thought-provoking commentary on gullibility, deceit, and the clash between reason and passion. The play is rated PG-13 and has adult themes.
A 2018 production of the play was a recipient of the British Asian Talent Award for Best Production from the Arts, Culture and Theatre Awards (ACTA), which recognizes British Asian talent in the creative industries.
