Art & Red in Repertory

4

Two plays in repertory, alternating daily – Art on even-numbered days; Red on odd-numbered days. Start times vary;

Westport Country Playhouse will open its 2016 Season with two Tony Award-winning plays staged in repertory, “Art” and “Red,” with each play alternating daily, from May 3 through May 29.

Mark Lamos directs two Tony Award-winning plays in conversation about art: making it, owning it, the anguish of creating it, and the ache of believing in it.

“Art” by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton, and “Red” by John Logan, will be directed by Mark Lamos, Playhouse artistic director.

ART

“A nonstop cross-fire of crackling language.”
– Newsweek –

What does your taste reveal about you? When Serge, a novice art collector proudly shows off a newly acquired painting, he imagines his friends will stand in awe. He thinks it “priceless.” They have a slightly different point of view. Blistering honesty extracts a high price In Yasmina Reza’s intelligent and witty Tony Award-winning comedy.

“Art” will be performed on the even-numbered days of May; “Red” on the odd-numbered days. Performance schedule is Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednesday at 2 and 8 p.m., Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 3 and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Special series feature Taste of Tuesday, LGBT Night OUT, Opening Night, Sunday Symposium, Open Captions, Thursday TalkBack, Together at the Table Family Dinner, Playhouse Happy Hour, and Backstage Pass.

“Art” and “Red” Production Sponsors are Barbara and John Streicker; Corporate Production Sponsor is Bank of America.

RED

“Intense and exciting!”
– The New York Times –

“What do you see?” Mark Rothko paints. His assistant runs the errands. Each knows their place in the world. But when the famous abstract expressionist asks his young protégée a loaded question, it rearranges everything. This sizzling and intellectually riveting drama offers a fascinating portrait of the search for visionary truth and the price you pay to be an artist.

To order ticket, please click here.

Single tickets start at $30; buy early for best prices. Discounts are available for ticket purchases to both “Art” and “Red.”

Date :
Tuesday, May 3 trough Sunday May 29, 2016 from 7 to 9 p.m

Mother’s Day – May 8

2

A popular day for gifts of flowers and greeting cards.

Many Canadians celebrate Mother’s Day by showing their appreciation for mothers or mother figures. The Mother’s Day date in Canada is on the second Sunday of May each year.

What Do People Do?

Many people in Canada express their gratitude towards mothers and mother figures on Mother’s Day. It is the time for people to thank mothers and mother figures who took the time care for them and help them through life’s challenges.

Carnations are a popular Mother’s Day symbol in both Canada and the United States. Some people may choose to wear a carnation as a brooch on Mother’s Day. However, other flowers are also given to mothers or mother figures to symbolize one’s love and appreciation for them.

Date :

CANADIAN BLUES SPOTLIGHT w. James Doran
on Mark Stenzler’s BLUES ZEPPELIN, Bern Switzerland
www.facebook.com/BluesZeppelin

Nov 22 – 9-11 am EDT (3-5 pm Swiss time)

This week’s featured artist – JEROME GODBOO www.jeromegodboo.com

Jerome was born in Victoria BC. He fell in love with the Blues and learned harmonica then moved east and launched his career in Toronto in the mid 1980’s when he formed The Phantoms. They became known as one of the best Blues Rock bands on the circuit with their high energy shows and Jerome’s “Jim Morrison” style harp playing and lead vocals. In 1992 after The Phantoms folded he started a solo career touring and recording with some of Canada’s best over the next decade including Jeff Healey, Dutch Mason, Ronnie Hawkins, Jack de Keyzer as well as American greats like James Cotton, Pinetop Perkins and Levon Helm. In 2013 Jerome released “Sanctuary City” which earned much critical acclaim. A year later he won the prestigious Lee Oskar Harmonica Player Of The Year Award at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Jerome is one of Canada’s most talented, eclectic and entertaining Blues artists. He and his great band – Shawn Kellerman on lead guitar (Mel Brown, Lucky Peterson), Eric Schenkman on baritone guitar (Spin Doctors) and Gary Craig on drums (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, Colin Linden) are currently working on a new album as we speak.
