2009/10 Season Scapin
Philadelphia Premiere By Bill Irwin and Mark O'Donnell Adapted from Jean Baptiste Molière Directed by Aaron Cromie December 3, 2009 - January 10, 2010
Adapted by Bill Irwin (The Happiness Lecture) and Mark O'Donnell, this hilarious re-imagining of the Molière classic puts famous servant Scapin at the center of an inventive interaction between actors and puppets in a production stuffed with chase scenes, revenge plots, slapstick and spoofery, live music, and lots of theater magic for the entire family. Scapin is directed by Aaron Cromie, known as a performer, director, and puppeteer
from projects such as The Foocy, The Comedy of Errors, Travels with My Aunt, and The Fantasticks. "Irresistible!" –The Philadelphia Inquirer "If you're looking for a holiday outing for the extended family, forget about that budget-breaking excursion to a Broadway musical. Instead get tickets to Scapin and roll in the aisles with laughter." –Broad Street Review "The humor is quick-witted and the laughs are continuous and varied: slapstick, political, double entendre, silly, and insightful. This is theater at its best." –Philly2Philly.com "Start the New Year off right with one of Philadelphia's best theaters." –Uwishunu "What a fun way to end the holiday season." –Phillyist "The cast's verbal and physical dexterity never ceases to amaze." –Philadelphia City Paper "The Lantern's production provides a welcome diversion from reality." –Philadelphia Weekly "Absolutely hysterical and undeniably amazing!" –Philly Theatre Talk ![]()
