Event Info
Molière in the Park (MIP) is excited to return to BRIC with a special Stoop Share presentation of A Very Modern Classical Evening with Molière in the Park, featuring The Regulars, a short new play in verse by rapper, actor, and playwright Le’Asha Julius about lovers torn apart by political bloodshed, paired with The Ludicrous Ladies, starring Emmy Award winner Michael Emerson. In this one-act comedy in prose, Molière takes aim at the performance of “refinement,” exposing the vanity and desperation behind social climbing through the wildly comic downfall of three aspiring sophisticates whose hunger for status makes them perfect targets for satire.

About Molière in the Park
Molière in the Park (MIP) is a Brooklyn-based theater company dedicated to fostering empathy, dialogue, and community through free theater, founded on the belief that access to the arts benefits all—both individually and collectively. MIP presents professional performances—most notably in Prospect Park—removing economic and social barriers to participation while bringing people together across neighborhoods and backgrounds.
MIP’s programming centers on the works of Molière, presented in contemporary translations and vibrant productions that resonate with modern audiences while preserving the integrity of his language. Since its founding, the company has produced Molière’s plays annually, including Tartuffe, The Misanthrope, The Miser, The Imaginary Invalid, and The School for Wives, with productions staged both in person and online, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Guided by a vision of a Brooklyn where all communities benefit equally from access to the arts, Molière in the Park is committed to equity, inclusion, and anti-racist practices. The organization’s casting, hiring, and programming decisions reflect these values, prioritizing representation, accessibility, and public engagement at every level of its work.
Molière in the Park offers all performances free to the public and collaborates with local artists, educators, and cultural partners to deepen community connections and expand access to theater across New York City
