THE IMAGINARY INVALID

Molière’s classic French comedy, The Imaginary Invalid, is about Argan, a man obsessed with his health and convinced he’s always on death’s doorstep, even though he’s perfectly fine. In order to get free medical care for himself, Argan demands that his only daughter, Angelica, marry a doctor. But she’s in love with someone else, and with the help of Toinette, Argan’s very clever servant, the two young women hatch a plan to change his mind and, at the same time, expose the selfishness of Angelica’s greedy stepmother.

AUDITION

Acting auditions are cold readings (scenes/monologues) from the scripts. Musical auditions involve singing and dancing portions to their process.

SBCT is committed to reflecting the diversity of the community by color-blind casting whenever possible (unless dictated by the particular script) and encourages and welcomes actors of all backgrounds to audition.
