Moliere Play

The curtain will rise at 3 p.m. Sunday on the first professional production to play in the Loeb Drama Center.

The Cambridge Drama Festival is sponsoring Vieux Colombier de Paris in Moliere's 299-year-old comedy L'Ecole des Femmes. William Morris Hunt, executive producer of the CDF, arranged with Loeb Director Robert H. Chapman to use the Loeb's main stage for two Sunday performances, at 3 and 8:30 p.m.

This will be the third Boston appearance of the French troupe, which is currently touring the country with its modern-dress production of the Moliere play.

According to Jay Russell, the public relations director of the CDF, the show was "spectacularly successful" in this week's Broadway performance.
