Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière (/moʊlˈjɛər/;French: [mɔ.ljɛːʁ]; 15 January 1622 – 17 February 1673), was a French playwright and actor who is considered to be one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature. Among Molière's best known works are The Misanthrope, The School for Wives, Tartuffe, The Miser, The Imaginary Invalid, and The Bourgeois Gentleman.
Born into a prosperous family and having studied at the Collège de Clermont (now Lycée Louis-le-Grand), Molière was well suited to begin a life in the theatre. Thirteen years as an itinerant actor helped him polish his comic abilities while he began writing, combining Commedia dell'arte elements with the more refined French comedy.
Through the patronage of aristocrats including Philippe I, Duke of Orléans—the brother of Louis XIV—Molière procured a command performance before the King at the Louvre. Performing a classic play by Pierre Corneille and a farce of his own, The Doctor in Love, Molière was granted the use of salle du Petit-Bourbon near the Louvre, a spacious room appointed for theatrical performances. Later, Molière was granted the use of the theatre in the Palais-Royal. In both locations he found success among Parisians with plays such as The Affected Ladies, The School for Husbands and The School for Wives. This royal favour brought a royal pension to his troupe and the title Troupe du Roi ("The King's Troupe"). Molière continued as the official author of court entertainments.
The Ambassador Theater was a theater located at 2454 18th Street and Columbia Road, NW, Washington, DC. It was most notable for a six-month period in the 1960s when it was a psychedelic concert and dance hall.
The Ambassador was located at 2454 18th Street and Columbia Road, NW and was on the site where the Knickerbocker Theater once stood. The Knickerbocker Theatre was designed by Reginald Geare and built in 1915 for Harry Crandall, who owned a small chain of theaters in Washington. It had a curved, three-story facade of limestone on red brick in a Georgian Revival style and seated 1,700. On January 22, 1922, 98 people were killed and 136 injured, when the roof of the Knickerbocker collapsed under the weight of thirty inches of snow in what was then the worst disaster in Washington. In 1923, Thomas Lamb built a new theater in the shell of the Knickerbocker, retaining the facade, which would be called the Ambassador. By the 50s, the Ambassador was struggling to compete with television and was suffering from low attendance.

The Miser (French: L'Avare; pronounced: [lavaʁ]) is a five-act comedy in prose by the French playwright Molière. It was first performed on September 9, 1668, in the theatre of the Palais-Royal in Paris.
The play was first produced when Molière's company was under the protection of Louis XIV himself. It was loosely based on the Latin comedy Aulularia by Plautus, from which many incidents and scraps of dialogue are borrowed, as well as from contemporary Italian farces.
The miser of the title is called Harpagon, a name adapted from the Latin harpago, meaning a hook or grappling iron. He is obsessed with the wealth he has amassed and always ready to save expenses. Now a widower, he has a son, Cléante, and a daughter, Élise. Although he is over sixty, he is attempting to arrange a marriage between himself and an attractive young woman, Mariane. She and Cléante are already devoted to each other, however, and the son attempts to procure a loan to help her and her sick mother, who are impoverished. Élise, Harpagon's daughter, is the beloved of Valère, but her father hopes to marry her to a wealthy man of his choosing, Seigneur Anselme. Meanwhile, Valère has taken a job as steward in Harpagon's household so as to be close to Élise. The complications are only resolved at the end by the rather conventional discovery that some of the principal characters are long lost relatives.

Molière (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin) was born in Paris on January 15, 1622. His father was one of eight valets de chambre tapissiers who tended the king's furniture and upholstery, so the young Poquelin received every advantage a boy could wish for. He was educated at the finest schools (the College de Clermont in Paris.) He had access to the king's court. But even as a child, Molière found it infinitely more pleasant to poke fun at the aristocracy than to associate with them. As a young boy, he learned that he could cause quite a stir by mimicking his mother's priest. His mother, a deeply religious woman, might have broken the young satirist of this habit had she not died before he was yet twelve-years-old. The first of Molière's plays to be presented at the Petit Bourbon was Les Précieuses...

La compagnie du Cercle Molière, créée à Saint-Boniface en 1925, a depuis ses origines le mandat de promouvoir l’art dramatique d’expression française. Au début, le Cercle Molière produisait une ou deux pièces par année, alors qu’il présente aujourd’hui jusqu’à cinq pièces par saison, y compris celles de troupes invitées. Ces pièces sont tirées des répertoires canadien, américain et européen. Le Cercle Molière participe aussi aux coproductions locales et il propose des tournées en région, en plus d’organiser depuis plusieurs années une série de « Lectures éclatées » qui se déroule en marge de la saison normale. Cette activité confère au Cercle Molière un rôle de forum de la dramaturgie surtout expérimentale et, parfois, de la dramaturgie franco-manitobaine actuelle. On y présente de nouveau...
The School For Lies www.parksquaretheatre.org by David Ives Directed by Amy Rummenie Adapted from The Misanthrope by Molière Jan 10 - Feb 2, 2014 Park Square Theatre, St. Paul, MN Rambunctious, sexy and snide...with a script that cleverly rhymes! Why would that saucy minx Celimene, surrounded by rich adoring suitors, fall for oh-so-serious Frank? And what could he possibly see in society's leading party girl? Their battle of wits turns from hilarious tug-of-war into true love story. Tony Award-nominated David Ives fills his deliciously off-color romantic spoof with anonymous love letters, false proposals, hidden identities and characters you can't help rooting for.

Serge hat sich für zweihunderttausend Francs ein Bild gekauft, ein weißes Bild mit weißen Streifen. Ein heftiger Konflikt entsteht, da Serges Freund Marc den Kauf des Bildes nicht tolerieren will. Auch Yvan, dem dritten und stets um Neutralität bemühten Freund, gelingt es nicht zwischen den beiden zu vermitteln. Durch diesen Kauf werden nicht nur die Befindlichkeiten der drei Männer hinterfragt, sondern auch ihre langjährige Freundschaft und ihr gesamtes bisheriges Dasein auf den Prüfstand gestellt. Yasmina Reza wurde unter anderem bekannt durch ihr Stück „Der Gott des Gemetzels“, welches 2011 von Roman Polanski verfilmt wurde. »KUNST« wurde 1994 in Paris uraufgeführt und schnell zu einem Welterfolg. Es erhielt mehrere Preise (Molière, Tony Award, Laurence Olivier Award).
