It’s Christmas Eve and everyone’s looking for a miracle. Two bumbling fugitives want help proving their innocence, the deputy DA wants a date, and Fred wants a vacation away from his overbearing mother. Private investigator Cactus O’Riley just wants a quiet night and a career change. What she gets instead is a merry, manic mystery that turns her life upside down, but might just prove the biggest miracle yet.

First performed in 1669, Tartuffe is one of the most famous theatrical comedies by Molière. The School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies explores how Molière’s brilliant portrait of corruption mirrors contemporary themes in religion, politics, duplicity and extremism, as relevant in the 17th century as today.
