Scapino!

July 14, 22-23
& 28-30



Directed by Joe Hilsee

Love has struck in Naples, Italy, just at the most amusing moment! Two young men, Ottavio and Leandro, are left, by their miserly fathers, Argante and Geronte (respectively), in the care of two notso- attentive servants, Sylvestro and Scapino (also respectively). Of course both young fellows fall in love with young women totally incompatible with their fathers?’ plans for an arranged marriage! Upon the fathers?’ return, all hopes, eyes, and gratuitous culinary items are directed toward Scapino, a master of trickery and cunning, to solve the mess and put everything back together again! Shakespeare in the Park Plaza?’s Scapino has everything you?’re looking for in a family comedy: wily servants who outsmart their masters; young lovers kept apart by their parents; misers who would do anything to keep hold of their money; gypsies; chase scenes; and a happy ending.
