I thought something like Moliere would be a good choice because first of all it\u2019s funny but it\u2019s also kind of uplifting.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s a neoclassical view of humanity, so it&#8217;s kind of a life affirming worldview that Moliere has.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The event is divided into two one-act plays, \u201cTwo Precious Maidens Ridiculed\u201d and \u201cThe Flying Doctor\u201d, both dealing with themes of lies and deceit in comedic ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show also marks the first time a UTRGV production will feature live sound.&nbsp;&nbsp;Choreographer and former student Tirzah Claus is the person tasked with using the sound and crafting a routine for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cReally it just comes down to communication because we\u2019re using two live violinists. \u2026adding live music is always a really cool element.\u00a0\u00a0There has to be communication between the violinist and myself so that we are on the same page because I\u2019m choreographing to what they\u2019re playing\u2026 So we just have to be really solid with the sections of the music,\u201d Clause said.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage Manager and Theatre major Dalia Emanuel could not be more confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m very confident in my cast and my crew and everybody,\u201d Emanuel said. \u201c&#8230;I believe everyone who goes to watch the show will have an amazing time.\u00a0\u00a0I believe in the play.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The play will run from Nov. 18-20 at the Albert L.
