In their second offering this semester, they produce a classic comedy by the 17th-century French playwright Molière. Tartuffe caused quite a scandal in 1664 because of its mockery of religious hypocrisy. The unmasking of Tartuffe’s hypocrisy in Act 4 is considered one of the finest scenes in the history of theater. The play has lost none of its acuteness in portraying the ruthlessness and power of greed often masking itself as godliness. [AP] 7pm Thursdays-Saturdays, 2pm Sundays, Nov. 12-22. MPC Morgan Stock Stage, 980 Fremont St., Monterey. $7-$22. (831) 645-1360, tinyurl.com/MPCTheatre. KRISTIN DARKEN Oct. 25 PARTY OF THE CENTURY Behind its doors and out on its campus, creativity abounds at the Sunset Center. And it’s been doing so for a century. The next five years are going to be something even more special at the venue, commemorating when it opened as a school in 1926 to its first live performance in its auditorium in 1931. Things kick off with a block party, with all the entertainment you would expect and more. At this centennial community celebration, experience performances by local dancers and student musicians, make your mark on an art wall, center yourself with wellness activities and more. This might just be remembered for the next 100 years. [EC] 1-4pm Sunday, Oct. 25. Sunset Center, 908 San Carlos St., Carmel. Free. (831) 620-2040, sunsetcenter.org. SARINA SOLEM
