Augsburg College Theater presents:
The Learned Ladies ( Les Femmes Savantes)

By Molière and translated by Richard Wilbur

Directed by Martha Johnson with scenic design by guest artist Nayna Ramey, choreography by Pam Gleason, lighting design by Michael Burden and costume design by Sandra Nei Schulte. 

In the production of The Learned Ladies, a family is thrown into disarray when the mother becomes fixated on an intellectual charlatan. The play evolves into a hilarious portrayal of the intellectual perversions sometimes seen in the world of academia (and elsewhere), when genuine quest for knowledge becomes replaced by pseudo-intellectuality, pretention, inflated self-importance, and power mongering.“This sophisticated satire sparkles with wit, ridicules hypocrisy, and . . . reveals that human folly has not diminished during the past three hundred years.”

November 5 at 8:00 p.m.

Sundays, November 7 and 14 at 3:00p.m.
