About Tartuffe: Born Again:

How do you stop an invasive cultish worm who uses lies of biblical proportion to wind his way into your family life, your town, your city, your country? Through the brilliant storytelling of Molière and Freyda Thomas’ clever adaptation in rhyming couplets, we watch a southern family in the 1980s begin to recognize a taker in their midst in the form of televangelist, Tartuffe. Hilarious mayhem ensues as they recognize the danger, rise up, and remove the culprit.

Parking information:

  • $10 to park in the Theatricum lot. Parking fee waived for vehicles with disabled person placards.
  • OR, FREE parking is available along Topanga Canyon Boulevard.
