Great Lakes Theater Festival Opens the Fall Rep with WKSU Nights


On Friday, Sept. 28, experience the bittersweet romance of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale And on Oct. 5, experience the wicked comedy of Moliere’s The Imaginary Invalid.

Use the code PR4 when ordering and purchase tickets at half price for these nights.
WKSU members also receive a $10 discount for other Great Lakes Theater performances.

In The Winter's Tale, a royal family is ripped apart when King Leontes imprisons Queen Hermione on suspicions of infidelity and exiles his newborn daughter. But callous hearts are redeemed, and broken ones mended, when the king realizes he made rash mistake and his abandoned orphan falls in love with a Bohemian prince.

In The Imaginary Invalid The wealthy Argan is a housebound hypochondriac who fears he’s contracted every disease imaginable. Unfortunately, a pack of quacks is more than happy to (mis)treat him. Can Argan find the cure for what ails him, and bankroll his medical bills by marrying his daughter to a doctor? The answer will leave you…in stitches. Infused with 60s pop culture and original music, this madcap makeover of Molière’s comic classic is just what the doctor ordered!
