McDaniel College Theatre presents “The Rivals,” February 29 through March 3 at 7:30 p.m. on the Mainstage in WMC Alumni Hall.
Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, students, and the McDaniel College Community.
Penned in 1775, “The Rivals” was Richard Brinsley Sheridan's first play and is, next to School for Scandal, his most famous. Satirizing the trappings of marriage and wealth, this comic masterpiece bubbles over with mistaken identity, romantic entanglements, quarrels, duels, and misconstrued circumstances.

The play relates the travails of a rich captain pretending to be a poor naval officer in order to woo a lady who does not care about wealth. Join us for the misadventures of Lydia Languish, Captain Jack Absolute, and the immortal Mrs. Malaprop, whose habit of choosing the lengthiest, and thoroughly incorrect, word made her a household name.
