Written by Yasmina Reza • Translated by Christopher Hampton • Directed by Lindsey Erin

This dark comedy raises questions about art and friendship and concerns and the varying opinions of long-time friends, Serge, Marc, and Yvan. One of the men, indulging his penchant for modern art, buys a large, expensive, completely white painting. The reactions of his friends to his purchase creates tension in their friendship. For one friend, Serge’s purchase of the painting is a cruel joke.

Assistant Director: Caitlin Clark

Making his MEG debut in ‘Art’, Mark has been involved with several theatrical productions throughout the greater Milwaukee area for over 15 years. Favorite roles include Ned Weeks in The Normal Heart, Charles Condomine in Blithe Spirit, Felix Ungar in The Odd Couple, and Malvolio in Twelfth Night — and he directed productions of Crimes of the Heart and Stop Kiss. This summer, he will be playing the role of Garry Essendine in SummerStage of Delafield’s production of Present Laughter. He also bakes for his own business, Neufangled Desserts, when not onstage. Special thanks to his family and friends for their continued support, and always — love to Jake.

Even more thanks to family and friends, and all the love in the world to Therese. Enjoy the show!
