See the University Theatre production of Moliere's madcap, farcical comedy The Miser — October 14 to October 17, 7:30 PM, Hainline Theatre. Tickets available at Hainline Box Office 309.298.2900.
A coughing sexagenarian whose every thought, word, and action is determined by greed, Harpagon is one of Moličre's most notorious characters. For more than three centuries, audiences have been charmed by the skinflint's obsessive scrimping and disturbed by the consequences of his avarice. Harpagon's frenzied antics give The Miser its comic momentum, but the character also casts a dark shadow on the play. His financial paranoia is as unsettling as it is entertaining.

In particular, we are hoping that alumni will share experiences about how they prepared for their position, internships, and even interviewing/networking tips. In a challenging business environment, help from alumni can make all the difference for our current students.
If you are interested in sharing your expertise with our students please email or call Cindy Ridle at (309) 298-2107 or CA-Ridle@wiu.edu or Stacey Macchi at (309) 298-1794 or SM-Macchi@wiu.edu
