Get a look at the production—which plays to just 100 audience members a night at Gilded Age mansion House of the Redeemer—in the gallery below. Opening night set is October 9, with performances continuing through November 23.
The cast also features Amber Iman as Elmire, Tyler Hardwick as Damis, Phoebe Dunn as Dorinne, Charlie Lubeck as Valere, Hannah Beck as Cleante, Chris Hahn as Orgon, Todd Buonopane as Mme. Pernelle, and Alexandra Socha as Mariane. Understudies James Preston Bates, Bex Odorisio, and Marcus Fitzpatrick round out the company. Casting is by Kate Lumpkin.

The classic satire, first performed in 1664, follows the titular Tartuffe as he misrepresents himself as poor for his own gain, and the outing of his deceit. Keaton Wooden directs the revival, which features Ranjit Bolt's translation of Moliére's French original. The production is the latest in a growing trend of Moliére revivals Off-Broadway—the fall will also see a new version of Tartuffe by Lucas Hnath and starring Matthew Broderick at New York Theatre Workshop.
Tall Order Productions and goaTman are producing, with Broadway & Beyond Theatricals and Ryan Bogner serving as executive producers. Co-producers include Karen Taffner Butler and Ron Butler, 30 Minutes From Broadway Entertainment, Jeanne McInerney, and Scott Wyatt. Evan Bernardin Productions is general manager.
