MOLIERE'S MISER
The Soquel High School Knights of the Square Stage present the French comedy "Skinflints
and Scoundrels: Moliere's Miser" Jan. 22-24. This classic comedy is set in the court of
Louis XIV and mayhem abounds with dazzling dandies, tricks and thievery, wise and winsome
women, and sons and daughters lost at sea and found at last! But at the end of the day --
and the end of the play -- the artist must be paid!The comic power of this cautionary tale
of misguided monetary mania defines the priceless power of the creative artist and alchemy
of the theater.

The play, translated, adapted and arranged by Suzan Zeder, starts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday,
Jan. 23, and Saturday, January 24, with a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee Jan. 24. General Admission
$10; ASB Stickers $8 in the Soquel High School Multi Use Room. Contact Maggie Kline, 423-
