​​This musical is a romantic farce based on a classic 1732 Pierre de Marivaux French comedy.
​Independent and self-assured Princess Leonide is smitten at first sight by Agis, not knowing that he has vowed to kill her. The princess disguises herself to infiltrate the guarded "men-only" compound where Agis has been raised to follow Rationalist Philosophy by his uncle and aunt. Mistaken identities, hilarious complications, deeply felt desire, and surprising romantic entanglements ensue.

Arlington Friends of the Drama is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage performers of all races and ethnicities, gender identities, sexualities and abilities to audition. We also recognize that these characters are written on the binary (use he/him or she/her pronouns) and we invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with.
