Abby Sharp In Play At KU

The   University Theater at KU will present two 17th Century plays next week.  Combining various trademarks of Molière’s plays and making the story more accessible to modern American audiences, professor and chair of theatre Mechele Leon crafted a four-act evening of hilarity with “The Rehearsal & The Hypochondriac.”

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 26-27 and March 3-4 as well as at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 28 and March 6 at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.

Abby Sharp, Rossville junior, will appear as Armande and Angelique.
