FRENCH COMEDY
The San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts will present Moliere's farcical French comedy, The Would-Be-Gentleman, on November 12, 13, 14 and 19 at 7 p.m. and November 21 at 2 p.m. in The Stage Door, SCPA's Little Theatre. This classic treatment of snobbery shows a man's obsessive desire to move up out of the middle class and associate with the gentry. He spends money on costly, outlandish outfits he thinks fashionable, upon music, dance and fencing lessons, and tries desperately to buy his way into society.
Ticket prices range from $4-$6. Call the SCPA Box Office at 470-0555, x232 or the after hours box office number 470-0588 for ticket information. SCPA is located at 2425 Dusk Drive, San Diego, CA 92139.
