'Scapin' ... an evening worth repeating

The Murphy's Creek Theater production of 'Scapin' is an adventure in vaudeville merriment, Freudian slips and outrageous tales.

Scapin is a hilarious journey through the lives of the Hatfields and McCoys of the 1600’s, known as the house of Geronte and the house of Argante. Engaging the audience, utilizing unsuspecting theater goers as actors, combining modern movie soundtracks and jingles to enhance the character creation and precise acting that creates bursts of laughter from the audience loud enough to drown out the next line, is what makes Scapin worthy of a family evening.

The play, performed in the beautiful Stevenot Amphitheater in Murphys, begins with a dimming of the lights as the strains of the Pink Panther float through the air, setting the stage for certain hilarity.
