April 12, Lipscomb Theatre鈥檚 School for Wives by Moli猫re (Play)
Fearing cuckoldry above all else, Arnolphe has painstakingly trained the guileless Agnes from childhood to become his obedient and faithful wife.

Unaware of who his rival is, the trusting Horace enlists Arnolphe's aid in wooing Agnes - which leads to a series of hilarious and inventive twists and turns of plot, until the inevitable conclusion is reached.
