Winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play, "Art" asks you 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. It's about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the work. Another friend, Ivan, is eager to please and tells Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over various failures ... bordering on destroying their friendships. See "Art", written by Yasmina Reza and directed by Jessica Schulte, at The Vanguard in Fort Lauderdale. [less-]

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" now comes to life on stage at Miami Shores' Shepard & Ruth K. Broad Performing Arts Center in Britten's adaptation of Shakespeare's iconic play. [less-]
