NSU theater set to preform the Molière classic The Learned Ladies

NATCHITOCHES, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Northwestern State University Theatre and Dance will perform Molière’s classic comedy The Learned Ladies, October 29 – November 2, 2025,  in Theatre West.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 29 – Nov. 1 and 2 p.m. Nov. 1-2. The 80-minute play is recommended for ages 10 and up. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

Set in an 18th-century household consumed by scholarly obsession, the story uses poetry and philosophy as weapons of control and confusion. Molière’s sharp humor highlights the dangers of self-importance while celebrating the joy of learning.
