French-speakin- g actors wanted University of Utah emeritus professor of A language is inviting French-speakin- g people to try out for parts in two plays to be performed by the new French Theater Co. of Salt Lake City. Dr. Richard Berchan, director of the acting company, says no prior theater experience is necessary to act in Knock our le Triomphe de la Medecine (Knock over the Triumph of Medicine) or Le et Misanthrope lAuvergnat (The Misanthrope from LAUvergnat). The comedies are currently being staged in Paris, Berchan says, the first is about Dr. Knock, a charismatic doctor who is a charlatan at heart and manages to put the population of an entire city in sick beds to enrich himself. The second play is about a man who is so offended by peoples lies that he hires an honest man to always tell him the truth. The results are disastrous, Berchan says. Berchan says Salt Lake two-week-o- ld City is ready for a French acting company, adding that he has been pulled by the by French students and the two French clubs in sleeve town to start one. Although some t would argue that French and American senses of humor dont translate, Berchan says he is confident the comedies will play well in town. Comedy is an international language, he says. If I read you some of the scenes from the Knock play you would be laughing nonstop. Although dates have not been set, the company will perform first at Westminster College in Salt Lake. It will perform its second play at La Parisien Restaurant by Max Mercier in downtown Salt , Lake. Berchan is also involved in a program with Park Citys sister city in France, Couchevel, which plans this summer to send native French high school-ag- e students to Utah to present an American play in English. |
