The Miser

If you saw Jeune Lune’s Tartuffe a few years back, you won’t want to miss this second helping of farce à la Molière. The Miser was market-tested in Boston earlier this year, where Jeune Lune co-created the production alongside Harvard’s American Repertory Theatre. Now Jeune Lune is returning the Bostonians’ hospitality by inviting them to Minneapolis for a restaging of the show. Jeune Lune director Dominique Serrand, long known around these parts as a disciple of the great physical comedy tradition, seems more interested in deeper humanistic themes these days. His Tartuffe, for example, played as a thundering warning against the dangers of religious extremism rather than the sex farce to which it is often reduced. 105 First St. N., Minneapolis; 612-333-6200; www.jeunelune.com
