The School For Lies 
A Rowdy, Sexy Comedy
by David Ives
Tickets on sale now!
Raunch, ruffles, and rhyme invade the Center House Theatre this summer, as Sound Theatre launches this saucy update of Molière’s
The Misanthrope by the Tony Award-nominated playwright of Venus in Fur!
Playwright David Ives stuffs contemporary off-color slang into the classic baroque farce, in which rivals scheme romance to expose a notorious cynic. A few cunning lies set party girl Celimene and acerbic wit Frank up for battle and sex. Misbehavior, gossip, glamour and scandal reign in this clowning burlesque written in rhymed couplets.
If you enjoyed our smash hit, Holiday of Errors (or Much Ado About Stockings), then you won’t want to miss this irreverent tribute to another classic!
The production features the return of several Sound Theatre Company audience favorites, including Frank Lawler (Holiday of Errors, The Illusion, Pygmalion) as the misanthropic Frank, and Page Byers (Top Girls), as the romantically scheming Celimene. Also returning are Marianna de Fazio (Holiday of Errors, The Foreigner), Matthew Gilbert (Compleat Works/Abridged), Corey Spruill (Dogg’s Hamlet), and Alysha Curry (The Foreigner). New faces include Dylan Smith, Paul Barrois,, and Henry James Walker.
The School for Lies opens on Saturday, August 9 for a limited run at Center Theatre at the Seattle Center Armory, 305 Harrison St. with preview performances on August 7 and 8. Tickets are $25, $15 for students, and pay-what-you-can performances on August 7, 14, 18, and 21.
