the World Premiere of "CHEAP", a reimagining of Moliere's "The Miser", directed by Anne Scurria

Burbage Theatre Co. and WomensWork RI proudly present "CHEAP," a world premiere reimagining of Molière's classic comedy "The Miser," written by Margaret Melozzi, directed by Trinity Rep Company member Anne Scurria. This fresh, uproarious take on one of theatre's great comedies of greed, deception, and desire runs November 19 through December 6, 2026, at the Wendy Overly Studio Theatre in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Meet a miser who loves money more than anything—or anyone—else. As a tangled web of romantic rivalries, family disputes, outrageous schemes, and carefully guarded secrets threatens to unravel, one man's desperate determination to protect his fortune puts everyone around him at odds. Love has a price, happiness is negotiable, and absolutely nothing comes for free. Featuring a sprawling ensemble of Rhode Island artists, "CHEAP" brings together two of the state's theatre companies for a genuinely collaborative production that celebrates their shared commitment to bold storytelling, inventive theatricality, and the enduring power of live performance. With a fresh adaptation of Molière's biting satire, this world premiere finds plenty to laugh at in the timeless absurdity of human greed. Sharp, spirited, and delightfully irreverent, "CHEAP" asks a deceptively simple question: What's the point of having everything if you're unwilling to give anything away? Performances run November 19–December 6, Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2 PM, with an additional 2 PM matinee on Saturday, December 5. No performance Thanksgiving Day, November 26. Wendy Overly Studio Theatre 59 Blackstone Avenue, Pawtucket, RI burbagetheatre.org
