Don't Forget "Tartuffe" Comes to Adelphi

"Molière is the second most produced playwright after Shakespeare and Tartuffe is a favorite. An exposé of the religious fervor and hypocrisy, it has been performed for more than 350 years. Reset in this production from Paris to modern, money-soaked Texas, Christopher Hampton's wonderful blank verse translation tells the story of rich businessman Orgon’s devotion to the radical preacher Tartuffe, who is in fact an arch-con-man." (Adelphi Performing Arts Center)

"Tartuffe" is directed by Brian Rose and will open up Tuesday April 6, 2010 at 7:30pm in the Black Box Theatre.

Performances:
4/6–7:30 p.m. | 4/7–7:30 p.m. | 4/8–7:30 p.m. | 4/9–11:00 a.m. & 7:30 p.m. |4/10–8:00 p.m. | 4/11–2:00 p.m.

"Topdog/Underdog"

Sunday February 21, 2010 in the Black Box Theatre located in the Performing Arts Center of Adelphi University, the show of "Topdog/Underdog" came to an end. Under the direction of Maggie Lally (Associate Professor) and starring Matthew Hancock ('10) & Patrick Johnson ('10) they witnessed their last show nearly sold out. Matthew and Patrick were given a very well deserved standing ovation at the completion of their performance Sunday night, and they did not forget their director Maggie and gave her a bouquet of flowers.












With the final curtain down, within a period of 10 minutes, the crew started on their dissembling of the stage and getting the room back to normal. After all the time and effort it took to get the stage, music, lighting and seating together and ready for the show, it was that time again to take it all down. With everyone working together and in an orchestrated order they were able to get everything done in just a few short hours and back to their lives outside of the theatre.
Stay tuned and visit the Adelphi Performing Arts Center as they get ready for their next show, "Steel Magnolias." The show will premier Tuesday March 9, 2010 at 7:30pm in the Olmsted Theatre and run through Sunday March 14, 2010.
