Moliere, the master of hilarious farces, tells the story of Sganerelle, the quick-witted woodcutter. After a quarrel with his wife, Sganerelle, goes off to chop wood. To spite him, his wife convinces two passing servants that he is a brilliant but eccentric doctor pretending to be a woodcutter. After vigorous persuasion, Sganerelle decides to help the servants who are searching for someone to cure their master’s daughter of a mysterious malady. Sganerelle’s escapades in the house of his new patron provide much laughter for the audience and, eventually, a necessary cure for the ailing girl.

The Schoolcraft College Theatre Department is directed by professor James R. Hartman. In March and April 2013 the Schoolcraft College Theatre Department will perform Shakespeare's Hamlet, which has been shortened and adapted by Hartman for ease of understanding. Auditions, which are open to the public, will be held in January. Call 734-462-4400 ext. 5270 for more information.
