Winner of the 2010 Tony and one of the most-produced plays in the country. This intense and exciting play is about famous American abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko as he paints the biggest commission in the history of modern art, a series of murals for New York's famed Four Seasons Restaurant. So why did he return the money and they ended up as a permanent installation at the Tate Gallery in London? RED captures the dynamic relationship between the artist and his creation. Preview slated for May 2 at 7 p.m.; production run is May 3-12 and May 30 - June 16.
