MSA presents French playwright Jean Giraudoux's Ondine, the tragicomic love story of Hans, a wandering knight, and Ondine, a spirit of the sea, from July 15th to the 30th.

Hans has been sent on a quest by his betrothed. In the forest he meets and falls in love with Ondine, who is attracted to the world of mortals and has been raised by an older couple deep in the woods by a lake. Their marriage is wonderful and catastrophic, like ours with Nature.

By turns satirical, enchanting and tragic, Ondine, written as the Nazis were getting ready to occupy Paris, is considered by some to be Giraudoux's (who also wrote The Madwoman of Chaillot) finest work. The play features Sean Roberts and Kimm Johnson as the lovers, and includes a generous handful of beloved faces from past MSA productions.

Performances are Saturday evenings, July 15, 22, and 29 at 7 pm and Sunday matinees, July 16, 23, and 30 at 2 pm. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for children under 18. Not recommended for children under 6. Tickets can be purchased at the link below and at Main Street Arts. https://www.cognitoforms.com/MainStreetArts1/OndineTickets
