A modern comedy influenced by the works of Anton Chekhov written by playwright Christopher Durang. Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister Masha, swoops in with her new boytoy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha.

Molière’s The Imaginary Invalid, directed by Alejandro Tomás Rodriguez, follows the hypochondriac Argan, who falls victim to the persuasive schemes of unscrupulous doctors and pharmacists. As the plot unfolds, we witness the consequences of unchecked reliance on medication and the manipulative nature of pharmaceutical greed. The play feels just as relevant now as it did 500 years ago.
Join us in this exploration of addiction, greed, and ultimately what can serve as medicine.
