About The Event
Prosperous Fools, loosely inspired by Moliere’s Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, is a brilliant and courageous exploration of philanthropy and its hypocrisies, a retooled comedy of manners for an age with no manners. The setting is a Gala for a not-for-profit dance company. The time is the present. This production contains some adult language and sexually explicit action.
About The Organizer
After more than three decades of award-winning and internationally-acclaimed productions, in 2013 Theatre for a New Audience opened its first home, Polonsky Shakespeare Center. Funded and developed through a public-private partnership with The City of New York, Polonsky Shakespeare Center was designed by celebrated architect Hugh Hardy and H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture. It is the first theatre in New York designed and built expressly for classic drama since Lincoln Center’s Vivian Beaumont in the 1960s. The facility bears the name Polonsky Shakespeare Center in recognition of a naming gift from The Polonsky Foundation.
