The School for Scandal—

What can happen when life is almost completely grounded in gossip and hearsay?

Join us for Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s sharp and sassy satire of the lives and loves of London’s upper crust in the late 1700’s.

** Meet Lady Sneerwell and her salon: Sir Benjamin Backbite and his uncle, Crabtree, masters of the barbed compliment and Mrs. Candor, who doesn’t consider it gossip if she’s only repeating what she’s heard.
** Then there are the Teazles, mismatched marrieds, and the Surfaces, a lord and his wayward nephews, fighting over a fortune.
** Add to this some non-servile servants, a couple of sidekick schemers, a money lender or two, and a young heiress who would rather be anywhere than where she finds herself, and you have this 18th century version of fake-news obsession.

Roving Park Players
We are the Roving Park Players, Eugene-Springfield’s one and only itinerant community theater company. We love our home and we love the arts, particularly theater. We believe artistic expression is an essential part of life, so when we started our company in 2008, we were determined to make our productions as accessible and inclusive as possible as a gift to our beloved community. We therefore chose to bring theater out to the people, performing in a number of parks, open spaces, and indoor venues around the area. We also decided not to charge for our shows and support ourselves with an entirely volunteer staff, donations, grants and a great deal of kind interest and aid. We’re excited to have found our way to the Applegate Regional Theatre!
