CORVALLIS- Oregon State University Theatre presents The Learned Ladies written by comedy master Molière and translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur March 7-9 and 15-16 at 7:30 pm and March 17 at 2:00 pm in the Memorial Union Ballroom (2501 SW Jefferson Way, Corvallis, OR 97331).

The road to true love never runs smoothly and especially in this satirical comedy by the witty and masterful Molière. Set in 1672, Clitandre seeks the hand of his beloved Henriette, but her mother Philaminte has other plans for her youngest daughter. Trickery and scheming ensues as Molière boldly critiques gender roles and the hypocrisy of intellectual pretention. Directed by OSU Theatre instructor Andrew Beck, this production embraces the lush colorful style of this classic comedy.

The cast of OSU students features Morgan Barnaby (Armande), Sophie Brown (Trissotin), Dylan Danielson (Ariste), Reegan De Jong (Martine), Lillie Evans (Julien), Noah. J Fox (Chrysale), Sophia Massey (LePine), Zoey Mayhew (Henriette), Teagan Olmstead (Belise), Jakob Petersen (Vadius), Yuri Sokolov (The Notary), Bella Trachtman (Philaminte), and Willow Weller (Clitandre).
