Saint Michael's major fall theater production will be THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL, the classic 18th Century play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, transported into the 1960s. All productions of the show will be staged in the FlynnSpace, 147 Main St., Burlington, Wednesday, Nov. 4, through Saturday, Nov. 7, each evening at 7 p.m. Admission is free but tickets are required. Call Jane at 802.654.2621 for ticket information.

Director Peter Harrigan, Saint Michael's professor and chair of the fine arts department, describes the production as "Amadeus" meets "Austin Powers."
