Player's Moliere
by Karen Steele
Collegian Staff
Penn Stale-Behrend’s drama
classes, instructed by Tony
Elliot, have begun their
preparation for the upcoming
spring production. “The
Imaginary Cuckold,** by
Moliere, a French playwright
who is famous for comedy, was
first produced in 1660 and will
be performed by Behrend’s
Matchbox Players beginning at
the end of March.
Rehearsals for the play began
February 9. Mr. Elliot
commented, “I am very excited
about working with this very
talented and diverse group of
actors. Some are newcomers to
the Studio Theater Stage, and
some will be familiar to our
audiences, which makes it that
much more fun.”
The play revolves around four
main characters. Basically, there
are two couples, but each
individual thinks their
significant other has betrayed
them. While everything seems
to be in a hilarious state of
confusion, the audience will
constantly be held in suspense.
Mr. Elliot said he has always
wanted to do a Moliere farce.
“This seemed the right time,
place, and group of performers,”
he said.
The cast for the play is as
follows: Gorgibus played by
Chris Ruch (Found a Peanut,
fall 1994); Celie played by
Abigail Greenburg; Lelie played
by David Stoehr; Gros-Rene
played by David Bridi;
Sganarelle played by Matt

Scapino, fall 1993; On the
Verge, Spring 1992);
Villebrequin played by Brian
Kierzek; Celie* s companion
played by Kanova Johnson
(Found a Peanut, fall 1994;
Scapino, fall 1993); and the
wife’s relative played by Kim
Mcllwain.
Theater 189 will begin
building the set and working on
the lighting on Tuesday and
Thursday afternoons. Their goal
is to capture the flavor of a 17th
Century stage. The platform
will be mostly an open area with
five places to enter. The story
takes place in residential park, so
the set needs to be an open,
public area. Once decorated with
greenery, the stage should take
on an old-fashioned look.
Although the character’s
costumes haven’t been decided
yet, measurements for them have
been taken. The cast will be
wearing brightly colored,
comfortable clothes.
Answer’s to last week’s puzzle.
