The Quintessence Theatre Group presents Cyrano de Bergerac, a classic play from the beloved French author Edmond Rostand.

The program will feature an exclusive chat with Director Alex Burns before the performance. You will also be invited to stay after for a cast talkback.

"The beloved pioneer of panache, Cyrano de Bergerac, is a celebration of the power of language. Roxane loves the beautiful-bodied but dim-witted and inarticulate Christian.Cyrano is a genius with words and a masterful swordsman but his long nose makes him embittered and fearful to profess his love. So instead of fighting, Cyrano offers Christian the use of his poetry in order to win Roxane’s affection with more than just looks, and a powerful and often hilarious love triangle is set in motion. Through spoken word, slam poetry, raps and rhymes, this Cyrano breaks out into contemporary culture and becomes instantly recognizable as a man trapped by love and the worth of beauty. “

Cyrano de Bergerac runs September 25-October 20 at the Sedgwick Theater.
