The Imaginary Invalid
By Molière

Worried about your medical benefits and the rising cost of health care? The Imaginary Invalid is sure to cure whatever ails you, at least for a few hours of zany fun. Argan, a chronic hypochondriac, plans to marry off his daughter Angelique to a doctor in order to secure permanent medical care for his ever-increasing list of imagined ills. Angelique and Toinette, the quick witted maid have, of course, other ideas. Moliére's sparkling wit and hilarious characters take center stage in this lively and fast-paced farce you won't want to miss!

The Reviews:
"The 10-member cast revels in the broad physical comedy as well as the shameless puns, off-color jibes and wonderfully silly character names. Director Sanford Robbins makes fine use of a versatile ensemble and concocts a wickedly funny evening's work."
