Tartuffe is one of Molière's most masterful and popular plays. Its central character is a rich bourgeois named Orgon, who in middle age has become a bigot and prude. By affecting sanctity, Tartuffe, a wily opportunist and swindler, gains complete ascendancy over Orgon, who not only makes over his fortune but offers his daughter in marriage to his spiritual master.
No appointments are necessary to audition. Auditioners are asked to arrive as early as possible. Sign-ups are in the green room around the back of the Playhouse. Both professionals and amateurs are welcome. Auditions will consist of reading from the script. For more details, character breakdowns, and audition sides, visit
