Tartuffe by the Montford Park Players

The Montford Park Players proudly present their next free show, Tartuffe, their first production of a work by Molière.

It plays Friday through Sunday, now through July 26, at 7:30 p.m., at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre, located at 92 Gay Street in Asheville. More information can be found by calling (828) 254-5146 or online at www.montfordparkplayers.org.

Presented in the celebrated verse translation by Richard Wilbur, it’s directed by Steven Samuels, the artistic director of Asheville’s Magnetic Theatre, and features an exciting blend of actors from both companies, including Magnetic regulars Darren Marshall, in the title role, Tracey Johnston-Crum, and Samuels himself, who takes on the role of Orgon, the role Molière created for himself.

Marshall has worked with both companies, as have fellow cast members Samantha Stewart (who also assistant directs), Elizabeth Dana-Wunderlich, and Jason Williams. Peter Lundblad, of The Magnetic, has never before graced the MPP stage, and Montford veteran Terry Darakjy has never previously played with The Magnetic.

Sarah Felmet appears for the first time with either company, and Mathew Harper makes his Asheville stage debut.
