A satirical comedy by French playwright Molière, Tartuffe (originally performed in 1664) tells the story of a wealthy family who falls under the influence of a shady character, and their desperate attempt to uncover his true nature before it’s too late. Exploring hypocrisy, betrayal, and what it means to truly love and look out for one another, this theater classic proves to be as relevant as ever in today’s political and social climate.
Tickets are $5 and are available at the door.

Tucker also teaches saxophone, clarinet, flute and improvisation throughout various private institutions in the Boston area, including the NEC Preparatory Program, Milton Academy, Merrimack College, and most recently one of the saxophone instructors at the ever-growing hub for all things saxophone: the Boston Sax Shop.
In 2018, Tucker released his debut album on OriginArts records. “Grime Scene” features Tucker’s hard-hitting blues-infused compositions, as well as thoughtful introspections that draw from his deep love of Blues and Jazz.

ARHS Gonk Stage is excited to present Guys and Dolls November 17, 18, and 19 at 7 PM in the ARHS auditorium. Guys and Dolls is a family-friendly classic musical comedy that is often thought of as the perfect musical theater production. It has been staged around the world countless times since its original Broadway run in 1950, most recently in a 2022 Kennedy Center revival concert. “Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.” Featuring classic, well known songs like “Luck be a Lady,” Guys and Dolls is sure to be an event everyone in the local community can enjoy. The cast and crew features more than 50 ARHS students! Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for adults. Tickets can be purchase online
