Company Workshop Steven Epp: Molière Wednesday & Friday Afternoons Dates & Times Friday, April 17, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Wednesday, April 22, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Friday, April 24, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Wednesday, April 29, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Friday, May 1, 2026 – 1:00pm-4:00pm Houghton Hall Arts Community, 22 East 30th Street All dates except for Friday, April 17 will be open to observers. About the Workshop Actor, writer, director, and Co-Artistic Director of The Moving Company, Steven Epp, joins The Actors Center for the first time for a workshop devoted to Molière. Over five sessions, we'll tear into some scenes from Tartuffe, The Miser, The Misanthrope, possibly Don Juan and Scapin—fresh American adaptations that Steven co-wrote and performed. Molière was first and foremost an actor. He loved actors. He wrote specifically for his company of actors, whose lives were the theatre 24/7. He was incendiary, hilarious, provocative, and philosophical; also ridiculous, muscular, brutal, immediate, and profoundly human. A tragedian trapped in a comedian's body and mind. His characters are pure joy for the actor—inviting and demanding boundless invention, wild interpretation, and exuberant play. We'll work scripts in hand, moving towards off-booked-ness as we go. We'll paraphrase, improvise, change it up, play any and all parts—casting ourselves across gender, age, and type. There's no right or wrong here, but we'll be looking for the truth of that moment where the comic and the tragic live in each other's arms. Sessions run Wednesday and Friday afternoons, 1:00–4:00pm.
