ART

A comedic exploration of artistic appreciation and friendship

by Yasmina Reza

Previews August 7 and 8
Opens Friday, August 9
Closes Sunday, September 8

Winner of the Tony Award for “Best Play”
Winner of the Olivier Award for “Best Comedy”

“ART belongs to a tradition that once flourished on Broadway but is seldom represented there these days: the sleek, pleasant comedy of manners with an intellectual veneer that allows audiences to relax at the theater.” -NY Times

“An actor’s dream: a nonstop cross-fire of crackling language, serious issues of life and art expressed in outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne…ART sounds like a marriage of Molière and Woody Allen.” -Newsweek

"Anyone looking for a play that is funny, sophisticated, stylish, stimulating and moving should go to ART." -London Independent

"A classic comedy, period." -London Times

How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. This intelligent and witty Tony Award-winning play by Yasmina Reza asks the question, “What does our taste in art say about who we are as individuals?” When Serge, a novice art collector, asks his two friends to view his newly acquired work of art, this “priceless” piece tests their fifteen-year friendship and causes them to validate their self-worth.

Mature subject matter and language.
