The cast of Gonzaga University's "Tartuffe"

Our interview with representatives from Gonzaga University's "Tartuffe," playing November 7-10, 2024 at eth Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center. Our guests included director Blake Anthony Edwards, producer Leslie Stamoolis, and actors Jack Champlin and Hailey O'Hara.

"Molière's classic satire about a fraudulent, zealous intruder was denounced on its first performance as a sacrilegious outrage and banned from further public view. This hilarious and irreverent whirlwind of lies, religious hypocrisy, and family feuds is one of theatre's most perfect comedic creations."
