Members of the Goucher community, along with the French theatre troupe Le Théâtre Rural d’Animation Culturelle de Beaumes-de-Venise (Le T.R.A.C.), will present a production of “L’Avare” (The Miser) on Thursday, March 5, and Friday, March 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the college’s Mildred Dunnock Theatre.
Written by Molière, a French playwright and actor considered to be one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature, the play takes a humorous look at greed and romance. Le T.R.A.C.’s lively productions have won over audiences at all levels of French proficiency during previous tours throughout Europe and the United States, including at Goucher. Although this classic will be presented in French, an English synopsis will be provided.
