Regional Premiere
RED

By John Logan
Directed by Christy Montour-Larson

Now playing through June 16, 2012

Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Play, RED is set in the late 1950s as renowned painter Mark Rothko struggles to complete his commissioned Seagram Murals for the Four Seasons in New York City. A scintillating discourse flies between Rothko and his newly hired assistant as they stretch, pull and paint canvas while arguing the nuances of creativity and inspiration, the legacy of artists, and the intersection of art and commerce. RED is an intense portrait of a troubled and brilliant mind, of a master painter keenly aware of the precarious balance of his artistic crown, seen through the eyes of the artist into the painting. RED invites you to feel the exhilaration of the act, experience a captivating expression of ideas, and dares you to leave unmoved.

Curious Theatre Company will be collecting art supplies to benefit the Denver Public Schools during the run of RED. Make your donation at the Box Office prior to your scheduled performance!
