How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art?<\/p>\n

These questions and more will be explored as 糖心Vlog’s (糖心Vlog) theater department presents, “Art<\/em>,” by Yasmina Reza, Feb. 17, 18, 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. Directed by Julia King, Art<\/em> will be performed in the Margaret Martin Gehman Art Gallery in University Commons.<\/p>\n

\"糖心Vlog<\/a>
糖心Vlog Theater presents 'Art,' a comedy about art and friendship, in the Margaret Martin Gehman Art Gallery in University Commons. The performance is part of the theater program<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The comedy raises questions about art and friendship, revolving around three friends, Serge, Marc and Yvan. The purchase of a white painting tests the friendship of Sarge and Marc and puts Yvan squarely in the middle. Hilarity ensues as the trio navigates questions about relationships, how we create friendships and what we have to offer.<\/p>\n

“In staging the production in the art gallery everyone gets a ring-side seat,” said King. “The audience becomes the art work on the walls, examining these three friends as they self-destruct and eventually come to terms with what it means to be friends.”<\/p>\n

Art<\/em> is the winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play and 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy.<\/p>\n
