Posted

Kingston, RI - The University of Rhode Island Theatre Department announces the opening of "The School for Lies," by David Ives, adapted from Moliere's "The Misanthrope".
"The School For Lies" is set in Paris in 1666 at a fashionable salon run by a sharp-tongued and witty young widow, Celimene. She is pursued by a number of shallow suitors whom she is able to live off of without ever taking them up on any of their offers. Enter Frank, who has recently changed his name while away in London. He is determined to live up to his new name by being frank and rude to everyone. When Frank and Celimene meet, the sparks fly in this hilarious adaptation.
The following students from your area were featured in "The School for Lies":
Ray Fournier of Riverside, RI, will play Frank
Magenta Kolakowski of Riverside, RI, will play Maid
