C'est une histoire d'amour.This is a love story.

Like any good romance, there is a boy and a girl. The world conspires to keep them from one another.

A Love Story: How the Heartland Fell in Love With a 400-Year-Old French Comedic Playwright is the retelling of the historical saga how Kansas City artists, actors, and businesses band together to bring one woman's vision to fruition: a much-anticipated 400th birthday celebration for one of the world's most produced comedic playwrights, Moli?re.

Felicia Londr?, Ph.D. and KC MOli?re: 400 in 2022 endured the untimely death of two of their most ardent supporters, the pandemic, while overcoming the obstacle that many Americans had not heard of Moli?re.
