Molière in the Park to present free staged reading and annual gala

Molière in the Park announces two exciting events! A FREE staged reading of Molière’s legendary French comedy, The Imaginary Invalid, and their annual OneLove OneTheater Gala.

The Imaginary Invalid

Join Molière in the Park, in partnership with Domino Park, for a hilarious FREE staged reading of Molière’s legendary French comedy, The Imaginary Invalid, featuring cello music and FlexN choreography!

Performances of The Imaginary Invalid take place on Thursday, September 25 and Friday, September 26 at 7pm at Domino Square, located at 12 South 3rd Street in Brooklyn.

The Imaginary Invalid is translated, adapted and directed by MIP’s Founding Artistic Director Lucie Tiberghien, choreographed by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, with original live music by composer/cellist Johnathan Moore.

The stellar cast includes Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JéPaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Ebonée Noel, Damian Thompson and Cal Hunt.

Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren’t we all? Argan wants absolute control. But who is he hoping to save? When there is no other way out, it will take the ingenuity of all the women around him to save the family.

Line Producer is Molly FitzMaurice. Production Stage Manager is Tala Munsterman.

Domino Square is the newest addition to Domino Park, an amphitheater and public plaza designed to host public programming accessible to all. Molière in the Park is a natural fit to round out Domino Square’s first summer, which has quickly become a platform for events that bring community together around arts and culture.

Tickets are free to the public with RSVP. All ages welcome. To reserve and for more info visit https://www.moliereinthepark.org/the-imaginary-invalid-at-domino-park.

OneLove OneTheater Gala

Join Molière in the Park for a spectacular celebration of 6 years of FREE theater for all in Brooklyn at their annual OneLove OneTheater Gala, on Monday, October 6, 2025 from 7pm-10pm at Littlefield, located at 635 Sackett Street in Brooklyn.

This special evening includes live theater and music, the chance to mingle with fellow community members and fabulous artists in an intimate setting, and the presentation of MIP’s annual Shoulder-to-Shoulder Award. It’s like going to an MIP performance, but with Broadway tunes, drinks and fancy outfits. How could you miss it??

The evening, hosted by Broadway sensation Sierra Boggess, includes performances by stage legend Bill Irwin and MIP alumni artists, Michelle Veintimilla, Lisa Gorlitsky and Yonatan Gebeyehu, cello music by Johnathan Moore, FlexN dancing by Cal Hunt, and a performance by Hamilton cast member Eddy Lee. Witness this fantastic lineup alongside fellow MIP community members and artists while enjoying food from Night Kitchen BK and drinks sponsored by Aupale Vodka, and finish the night with the DJ set by Sahr Ngaujah. All ticket sales and donations directly support MIP’s mission to provide FREE world-class theater for ALL Brooklynites!

Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso will be honored as this year’s recipient of MIP’s Shoulder-to-Shoulder Award.

Molière in the Park created the “MIP Shoulder-to-Shoulder Award” to honor individuals whose work reflects a core belief of Molière in the Park: that it is vital to build and sustain spaces where people of all cultural and racial backgrounds can come together—sitting shoulder to shoulder—to create and/or experience art. Through this award they seek to honor those who contribute to a sense of common humanity and unity despite everything that seemingly makes us different.

Tickets for the gala start at $125 and include:

  • Food and drinks courtesy of Night Kitchen BK
  • Fabulous dance, music and theater performances performed by MIP alumna artists, including hilarious Molière excerpts but also, Broadway hit songs, and sneak peaks at new material developed by friends of MIP
  • A silent auction including destination getaways in the Alps and more
  • And a post-show DJ, because is it even a party without an opportunity to hit the dance floor?
