You see, I am in close contact with my High School French Teacher, the one who sparked my interest in French to begin with!
And, as I am in good contact with her, I am also in close contact with the UCA French club, and I am working on getting an amazing man to the University of Central Arkansas this fall to put on his one-man show of several Molière plays. So...if you are out and about and around UCA on October 31,2007, go see this show!!
Here as follows is what I wrote to COUNTLESS people asking them to please come and support the UCA French club and Cabot High School. Hopefully (for it is my intent) it will spark interest in both clubs so that in the future their functions will be attended by masses ;)

Attention all High School History teachers, Drama teachers, English teachers, Literature teachers, and Liberal Arts teachers alike, come join Kristie Robinson and Cabot High School French students at the FIRST EVER
"Molière Than Thou" production at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas on October 31, 2007.
Join us to watch Tim Mooney in his one-man introduction to the French playwright and actor, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Molière, who in his lifetime during the 1600's wrote many timeless comedies such as "The Misanthrope", "The School for Wives", "The Bourgeois Gentleman", and the more famous "Tartuffe".
Written and performed by Tim Mooney, he incorporates Molière's most famous works into a one-man stage performance and gives his audience...
Tim writes: "With thirteen Moliere plays in my portfolio, I realized that I had been writing material faster than theatres could produce it, and that the best way to introduce this work to the world would be to create a a play in which some of Moliere's funniest speeches could be explored.
Moliere Than Thou finds Moliere left without a cast, when all of his fellow performers happen to consume "the same sort of shell fish" at one of the local public inns that the company tends to frequent. Rather than actually refund the precious box office income, Moliere offers to perform a "greatest hits" of sorts, and leads the audience (which occasionally participates) through a hilarious succession of favorite speeches that trace his illustrious career. Mooney, himself, plays Moliere, who performs routines from Tartuffe, Don Juan, The Doctor In Spite of Himself, The Precious Young Maidens, The Misanthrope and The School For Wives among others.
This gives Moliere the perfect opportunity to explain his process of working on these plays, while managing to take a few deft stabs at some of his enemies: the doctors, the lawyers, and the sanctimonious hypocrites who would attack him throughout the years."

Easily, one can dismiss the genious of this production...getting wrapped up in school, not being able to make deadlines or contacts....
This is why I encourage anyone interested to let me or Kristie Robinson know if you are interested.
Thank you,
