In aristocratic Paris, poets are the rock stars of the day, and young people have gone métromanie ( " crazy for poetry " ). And Damis has developed a particularly severe case - he's fallen in love with the work of a mysterious poetess. Plot twists, complications, and mistaken identities - all in rhymed verse - tumble to a happy ending in this new telling of a 1738 French farce. " ... the language is golden ... almost criminally enjoyable ... " -

Washington Post Kari Steinbach directs the 7 - member cast, with sets designed by Devyn Becker, costumes by Deb Murphy, and lighting by Bill Larsen. An audience discussion with members of the company will follow the matinee performance on Sunday, May 6. Tickets are $ 22.
