(Akron, OH)— The University of Akron School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts
Administration presents the lively vintage farce *Scapin* by 17th Century
French playwright Molière running Oct. 14–23, 2010, in Sandefur Theatre in
Guzzetta Hall on the UA campus.

            Guest Artist *Terry Burgler*, Artistic Director of Ohio
Shakespeare Festival, brings his own spin on the show to the university.
Burgler has served as artistic director and producer of ten professional
companies and directed, acted in, and produced more than 300 productions.
Additionally he has numerous credits as a designer and playwright. He has
won dozens of awards for Best Director, Best Production and Best Actor in
Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey as well as the 2007 Outstanding
Theatre Artist Award from Arts Alive here in Northeast Ohio. In Burgler’s
adaptation, the rascally title character Scapin (portrayed by University of
Akron Junior Theatre major Alex Funk) balances his penchant for mayhem and
mischief with a promise to help two pairs of wide-eyed lovers overcome the
objections of two headstrong fathers.
