A Two plays encased within one pleasurable evening, “The Forced Mar- riage and “The Would Be Gentleman,” proved a truly enlightening experience. “The Forced Marriage” was set in 1668 — traditional Moliere. The heavily clothed and wigged actors helped to set the period. Paul Avedisian played the aging Sganarelle who is forced to marry Dorimene even after he finds out that she will he unfaithful to him. The Would Be Gentleman” was brought into the present through both costumes and set. The actors had a fun time portraying characters that were originally from the 17th century. Jourdain, played by Stephen Schwander, searches for ways to become a man of society. He hires a number of artists to train him in their respective specialties. Instead of looking inwardly, he turns to external measures; but only succeeds in making a fool of himself. The combination of the two plays pro- vided for an enjoyable evening. The con- trast provided the actors with a challenge. A challenge that they met head on. A: The dancing master describes the meaning of life. B: The music master tells the value of music. C: The philosopher skirts out of the way of Sganarelle. D: Dorimene confeses of her love to Sganarelle. D: Sganarelle buys Dorimene's love. F: Mrs. Jourdain shows Mr. Jourdain her practicalness. G: The philosopher proves not to be very useful. H: Mr. Jour- dain shows off what he thinks will make him a man of society. Photos: John Gardner. E 26 THE MOLIERE PROJECTS
