Moliere’s comic genius at the University Theatre
 

Moliere is universally recognized as a comic genius and “The Misanthrope” is among his finest works.  Fresno State’s University Theatre will continue its presentation of the comedy in the Arena Theatre through Nov. 5. Terry Miller is the director. Alceste (Jay Felix), the misanthrope, explains to Philinte (Anthony Rico Nan) that he hates mankind because there is so much hypocrisy, deceit and false flattery in the world that he can’t find a man who will speak the truth openly.
