RED by John Logan
1958. Mark Rothko, master abstract expressionist, has taken on the biggest commission in the history of modern art - to paint a series of murals for the famous Four Seasons Restaurant in New York. Standing in his downtown studio, staring at his work, he asks his newly acquired, assistant, Ken, What do you see? Two years unfold as Rothko and Ken continue to work on what will be either his greatest accomplishment or his most profound failure as an artist.
RED investigates the relationships betweenartists and audiences, fathers and sons, servants and masters, teachers and students, and it asks each of us to look inward and find what pulses and moves within us. REDexcavates the soul of an artist as it questions the nature of what art is and what it should be. It begs us to be raw, vulnerable, and kind and it demands that we, Make something new.
RED is directed by Kelly Thomas, assisted by Jacob Beecher, and will feature Varlo Davenport and Jesse Nepivoda. "We're very excited to be bringing RED to life here in Washington County" said actor Jesse Nepivoda. "It's a show that wrestles with big questions - what's important to us? What truly matters? What do we want to leave behind when we're gone?"
