The Miser July 25, 2009

Molière's comic tale with a tragic heart about a man whose love for his money is greater than his love for his children. When an old widower decides to marry off his children against their will, he sets the entire family scheming to steal his fortune. With forbidden romance in the air and the family treasure buried in the backyard, it's a race to see who will come out on top. The outdoor amphitheater is terraced into the rustic Topanga Canyon hillside. Dress casually (warmly for evenings) and enjoy a picnic before or after the performance.
