Program notes, August 20
Newberg High School, Oregon presents a fresh adaptation of Moliere’s masterpiece, set in 1960s Paris. Originally commissioned for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon, this play with music follows the efforts of all those who love him to convince Argan, the hypochondriac, not to marry off his daughter to a quack doctor to save money on his medical bills. He learns that he is not really ill, and that life is precious thanks to Toinette, his servant, and Beralde, his brother and that all we have is now.

From Connie Kaiser, parent chaperone - August 19
"The kids are doing just a fantastic job. We just got home after their third

performance and the energy is still very high."

Another wonderful day. We left London and had a loonnggg train ride up to Scotland but we are all here safe and sound. Tomorrow Edinburgh for part of the group, and the others will be going to Glasgow to tour the Royal Conservatoire. We are zombies, but happy Zombies.
