On Stage: A Fool’s Appeal

Theatre TCU performed the timeless comedy Tartuffe at the Jerita Foley Buschman Theatre in March.

Mackenna Milbourn ’18 played Elmire, shown here while attempting to expose the seemingly pious Tartuffe (John Badar) as a fraud while her hoodwinked husband, Orgon (Matthew Parker), spies from underneath a table. One of 17th-century French playwright Molière’s most famous works, Tartuffe skewers those who feign religious devotion — and those who fall under their spell.
