One of the world\u2019s best food festivals returns to NYC this weekend<\/a><\/p>\nThe season kicks off on May 14 at BRIC with\u00a0A Very Modern Classical Evening, a double-bill that pairs contemporary and classical voices. The program includes staged readings of\u00a0The Regulars, a new verse tragedy by playwright Le\u2019Asha Julius, alongside Moli\u00e8re\u2019s satirical one-act comedy\u00a0The Ludicrous Ladies, starring Michael Emerson and Lakisha May. The performance continues MIP\u2019s\u00a0practice of placing classic texts in\u00a0conversation with modern storytelling.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Moli\u00e8re in the Park, our goal is always to connect the plays we offer with the lives and stories of the communities we serve,\u201d\u00a0founding executive director\u00a0Lucie Tiberghien said in a statement. \u201cThis season reflects our commitment to artistic rigor, community building and public access\u2014from intimate readings to large-scale performances in the park.\u201d<\/p>\n
On\u00a0June 19, the company presents a developmental workshop presentation of\u00a0Don Juan,\u00a0translated by Stephen Wadsworth, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The invite-only showing offers a first look at the company\u2019s reimagining of one of Moli\u00e8re\u2019s most provocative works, ahead of a pop-up presentation in Domino Park on August 14 and a full production in\u00a0Prospect Park September 5\u201327, staged at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in partnership with the Prospect Park Alliance.<\/p>\n
The season wraps up with the company\u2019s fourth annual OneLove OneTheater Gala on November 9, with details to be announced.<\/p>\n
As always, nearly every performance is free, with reservations opening at a later date.\u00a0At a time when\u00a0ticket prices\u00a0can be more of a barrier than the cost of entry,\u00a0at least Moli\u00e8re in the Park\u00a0continues the tradition of creating and sharing world-class theater that’s accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n
