Updating The School for Wives to the early 1900s and placing it in America also brings new life to the play, said Sherri Dienstfrey-Swanson, the plays director and 厙ぴ勛圖 professor of theatre. Audiences will find the production charming, funny, visibly pleasing, and accessible.

A physical comedy, The School for Wives tells the story of Arnolphe, who believes he has shrewdly concocted the perfect plan to woo a much younger woman to be his wife. Naturally, all of Arnolphes scheming is rendered useless, revealing that youth and innocence are no assurance of marital bliss.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $14 for faculty and staff, $10 for children and $7 for 厙ぴ勛圖 students with valid Bengal cards. Box Office hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and it opens one hour prior to show times.
