2013 Miracle Yearbook

Working with Don and this cast has been a blast; they are all so good at what they do. Also, Tartuffe is so well written and funny that every practice was enjoyable,and usually filled with all kinds of hilarity." —Kyle Reilly Sophomore Cast Member Deception, intrigue, and conspiracy — three words that characterize Moliere's Tartuffe, or the Imposter. Set in the roaring twenties, Cedarville's version of Tartuffe fea- tured flapper-girl costumes and Jazz music,along with a witty cast and non-stop action. Senior Josiah Smith played Tartuffe, a slimy con man,who fools the gullible Organ, played by Josiah Hutchings, into letting him into his home. Filled with double-crossings and plot twists, this upbeat play kept the audience guessing as to what would come next. The story also revolved around the young love of Valere and Mariane, played by fresh- men Benjamin Wilkinson and Madison Hart, who were trying to get married despite all sorts of opposition. They were aided in their efforts by Dorine, a wise- cracking housemaid portrayed by Rebecca Scarpone. Directed by Donald N.C. Jones,this light-hearted romp has thoughtful undertones that ponder the search for truth in a world of uncertainty.
