August 22, 2018 – November 30, 2018
The rake Dorimant and a merry gang of ladies and gents are up to no good in The Man of Mode. Dorimant’s involvement with a married woman and her younger friend complicate his budding interest in Harriet, a beautiful heiress; the romantic interests of his friends and their parents complicate everything else. Throw in disguises, tricks, and one fancy fop, and this witty comedy of manners will have you rolling in your seat.
Had a total blast and regularly LOL’ed watching ASC’s THE MAN OF MODE — coming back to Staunton ASAP to see EMMA…❤
