Performances @The Block: The School for Scandal @ The Block (2nd Floor) | Muskegon | Michigan | United States

Doors and bar open at 6:30 pm.

The Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company brings the comedy of manners, “The School for Scandal”, by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, to The Block. The story about the behavior and customs of upper classes, is told through witty dialogue with comic situations that satirize the malicious gossip and hypocrisy in the fashionable society of London in the 1770s.

This Restoration period play was first performed in 1777 in Drury Lane Theatre, London. The performances at The Block are a precursor to the WMS concert in November that will feature the 1931 overture of the same name by composer Samuel Barber.
