Tartuffe, Moliere's Classic Farce
by Moliere

A timeless comedy of errors that covers a day in the life of a delightfully dysfunctional family household - jumbling together hypocrisy, sanctimony, betrayal, seduction, sarcasm, and true love. And we say amen to all that.

Gilgamesh
by Daniel Elam

Music, libretto, and script are all written by high school student Daniel Elam who is also directing its debut. Based on one of the first epics ever written, Gilgamesh is the story of the greatest king of Mesopotamia. At first a selfish and prideful king, Gilgamesh is scorned by his citizens. The citizens pray to the gods for a solution to their problem. They receive an answer to their supplications that sends their king on many unique adventures and teaches him difficult and valuable lessons. Finally, Gilgamesh returns to his kingdom where he is greeted by loving citizens and a happy life and he realizes his true destiny "to be the greatest king of Mesopotamia."
