Thieves' Carnival

2009—2010 Season


Written by Jean Anouilh
Directed by David Josten

Thieves’ Carnival, Jean Anouilh's most successful work in the United States, is an excellent lark, loaded with humorous whims, romance and masquerades. The scene is a palatial home where two attractive young girls reside. The home is invaded by three affectionate thieves, on the one hand, and by a country bumpkin on the other. A lovely romance blooms instantly between one of the girls and the youngest thief. Being a very honest fellow, he cannot, in conscience, accept her love and instead turns with vengeance toward his job. But she is swifter in her wiles than he is in his.

Show dates are March 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20 at 7:30 pm on stage at the Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada, 813 N. Carson Street, Carson City. Enter on the Ann Street door.
