Mark Abram-Copenhaver and Jennifer Vosters tell Gordy about the play “The Misanthrope”, which is being performed this Wed-Sunday at the Moreau Center for the Arts on the campus of Saint Mary’s College. The original play by Moliere was written in 1666 and is about love, friendships, gossip and rumors…but, this production has a modern twist that include using social media and they’re encouraging audience members to actually turn on their cell phones during the performance, and participate with the actors in the play. https://www.saintmarys.edu/tickets/misanthrope
