“Crisp and juicy…a sweet and very smart ride” – New York Theatre Guide

Bas Bleu Theatre Company is thrilled to announce the first mainstage production of our 32nd Season: the wickedly funny THE SCHOOL FOR LIES, a sweet and saucy farce by Tony-nominated playwright David Ives. Directed by Bas Bleu’s very own Production Manager Steve Keim. 

Famed comic playwright Moliere meets his match in this rollicking, contemporary adaptation of his classic farce, THE MISANTHROPE. The result is a combination Baroque reality show and a deliciously off-color tribute featuring a gaggle of glamorous gossiping goofballs and glittering contemporary couplets, and underneath it, all the throbbing heart of a true love story. As the beautiful young widow Celimene, so known for her satiric tongue that she’s being sued for it, meets Frank, a traveler from England known for his own acid utterances, they match each other barb for barb amidst a world of shallow suitors, and with the help of a few well placed lies – they learn how to love.

Join us for pay-what-you-will preview on Friday, September 20 at 7:30.

We will be hosting an Opening Night reception following the production on Saturday, September 21 with free beer, wine and canapes.

THE SCHOOL FOR LIES runs weekends September 20 – October 13. Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday at 2:30. Ticket prices range from $6 to $30. Please call the box office at 970-402-0285 to reserve your tickets. Or visit us online at www.basbleu.org
