PVPA Presents: Tartuffe
December 15 and 16 at 7:00 PM

The Pioneer Valley Performing Arts (PVPA) Charter Public School Theatre Department is pleased to present Tartuffe. Moliere’s classic French farce sees the conman Tartuffe worm his way into the good graces of a wealthy family. Hiding behind false piety and humbleness, he enraptures Orgon, the patriarch of the family. Orgon has completely fallen for Tartuffe’s guise, and promises him his daughter’s hand in marriage. Hijinks and hilarity ensues as Orgon’s family rushes to stop the marriage and expose the imposter Tartuffe!
Tartuffe is directed by PVPA Teacher Cullen Burling, Assistant Director AJ Kirby, costumes designed by PVPA Costume Teacher Lauren Reuter and created by students under their direction. Lighting by PVPA students, designed by Stage Manager Jay Winter. The set for Tartuffe was designed by PVPA’s Visual Arts and Technical Theater Dept Leader Martin Bridge, and created by Stagecraft students under his direction.
