A Servant of Two Masters Thursday–Saturday, November 6–8 at 7:30 p.m. In the tradition of commedia dell’arte, traveling acting troupes playing stock characters challenged social norms and politics in the guise of entertainment. In this classic comedy set in Venice, mayhem erupts when the clever—and perpetually hungry—servant Arlecchino concocts a wild plan to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once. Amid a tangle of lovers, misers, and schemers, mistaken identities, broken engagements, and drawn swords lead to an uproarious finale where all is finally set right. Tickets will be available two weeks before opening night online or at the Moore Theatre box office one hour before each performance. |

Through a mutual acquaintance, she begins a correspondence with George, a lonesome Caribbean man working on the Panama Canal, and soon he persuades her to marry him sight unseen.

When George finally arrives in New York, Esther must confront the truth of her choices and a future she could not have imagined.
