About This Show

Northlight Theatre presents The Miser, by Jean Baptiste Molière, in an
adaptation and translation by James Magruder.
Mark E. Lococo directs.

A classic costume comedy with a contemporary twist! When an old widower decides to marry off his children against their will, he sets the entire family scheming to steal his fortune. With forbidden romance in the air and the family treasure buried in the backyard, it’s a race to see who will come out on top. A hilarious tale of true love…between a man and his money!

“The Miser…pays off! This new translation is deliciously over the top!” – Baltimore Sun
