Celebrating the 400th anniversary of Molière with Dr. Felicia Londré as keynote speaker, July 14, 2022
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - EntSun -- The English-Speaking Union, Kansas City Branch, invites the public to a special lecture program saluting Kansas City's French Heritage and the 400th anniversary of the world's greatest comedic playwright, Molière. The program is Thursday, July 14, 2022 at 6:00 pm and will include a buffet dinner before the lecture.
The keynote speaker, Dr. Felicia Londré, is the author of 14 books, Curators' Distinguished Professor Emerita of Theatre at University of Missouri at Kansas City, and lecturer around the globe.
The City of Kansas City, Missouri, was a French settlement founded 200 years ago by a French fur trader, François Chouteau. And, as part of Kansas City's French heritage, the English-Speaking Union has invited Dr. Londré to speak about Molière and his 400th birthday this year. Molière is to the French as Shakespeare is to the English. Molière is one of the most-produced comedic playwrights in the world. His comedies have always been part of Kansas City's vibrant theatre scene.
