Molière! Molière! - October-November, 2002

In the fall of 2002 I was in my first play: Two Precious Maidens Ridiculed, one of two one-act plays by Molière produced by the Foothill College theatre arts department (the other was Sganarelle or the Imaginary Cuckold). The play ran from October 25 to November 10. Here are some pictures (ok, a lot) of the cast and crew...

               
Me as a (scary) clown.

               
The other clown is Elan Freydenson.

   
Elan and I also played sedan chair porters. We carried Masquerille (Rooben Morgan) onto the stage.

               
Christian Thomas as Jodelet (in pink), and Rooben Morgan as Masquerille (in blue).
