UIS Theatre presents a contemporary translation of the 17th century French comedy Tartuffe by Moliere on Oct. 26-28 and Nov. 1-3, 2012 in the Studio Theatre. The play, subtitled, "The Hypocrite," focuses on a religious fraud, Tartuffe, who slyly dupes a wealthy merchant, Orgon, into signing over his estate, and even his daughter, to Tartuffe. Twice banned in the 17th century as sacrilegious, Tartuffe has continued to gain popularity and relevance ever since. UIS Associate Professor of Theatre Missy Thibodeaux-Thompson directs Tartuffe, with scenic and lighting design by new UIS Theatre Assistant Professor, Dathan Powell. The curtain time for Thursday, Friday and Saturday night shows is 7:30 p.m. with the Sunday performance starting at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $14 for adults, $12 for senior citizens (65 or older with a picture I.D.), $10 for UIS Faculty/Staff and $8 for UIS students (and all other college-level students) with a valid, current i-card or college I.D. Card, and $6 for 17 & under. Please note that a service charge, not included in the prices above, from Sangamon Auditorium will be added to each ticket price, at the time of purchase. To avoid a higher service charge, buying tickets in person at the Sangamon Auditorium ticket office is highly recommended.
