Theatre: Glenbard North Theatre is proud to present its fall mainstage, Moliere’s “The Learned Ladies”! Clitandre seeks the hand of Henriette, a match heartily approved of by her father, Chrysale. However, his wife, Philaminte, has other plans for her younger daughter—namely marriage to Trissotin, a foppish wit who panders to Philaminte’s intellectual pretensions. Further complications are introduced by Armande, Henriette’s older sister, who once rejected Clitandre but now resents his attentions to Henriette; by Bélise, Chrysale’s sister, who believes (erroneously) that all men are wildly in love with her; and by Vadius, a scholar jealous of Trissotin’s hold on Philaminte. Needless to say the course of true love does not run smoothly.The Learned Ladies runs November 21-23rd at 7:30pm in Livingston Auditorium. Tickets are $10 at the door or available online on our Glenbard website.
