Sunday in the Park with George
October 6 - October 28, 2012
One of the most acclaimed musicals of our time, this moving study of the enigmatic painter Georges Seurat won a Pulitzer Prize for its deeply insightful and highly personal examination of life through art and the artist.
Act
one follows the struggling Seurat as he fights two challenging battles.
One, to hold onto a relationship with his mistress Dot. The second is the
personal artistic journey he takes as he creates his painting “A Sunday
Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” amid the scorn of the artistic
community for his ground breaking approach. The second act takes place
100 years later, introducing us to his American descendant, also an
artist, burned out and uncertain of the path he must take to creative success.
Sunday in the Park with George opens our new facility at 54 West Church Street.
