RED

RED was the winner of seven 2010 Tony Awards, including the award for Best Play.! ! 1958. Mark Rothko, master abstract expressionist, has taken on the biggest commission in the history of modern art - to paint a series of murals for the famous Four Seasons Restaurant in New York. Standing in his downtown studio, staring at his work, he asks his newly acquired, assistant, Ken, ?What do you see?? Two years unfold as Rothko and Ken continue to work on what will be either his greatest accomplishment or his most profound failure as an artist. ! RED investigates the relationships between artists and audiences, fathers and sons, servants and masters, teachers and students, and it asks each of us to look inward and find what pulses and moves within us. RED excavates the soul of an artist as it questions the nature of what art is and what it should be. It begs us to be raw, vulnerable, and kind and it demands that we, ?Make something new.?! ! RED is directed by Kelly Thomas, assisted by Jacob Beecher, and will feature Varlo Davenport and Jesse Nepivoda.
