'ART' examines the quirky dynamics of friendship and the enigmatic world of art through Yasmina Reza's sharp wit and clever dialogue. This hilarious and thought-provoking comedy navigates the fine line between laughter and introspection, exploring the true value of both art and friendship.

Through the dynamics of a long-time trio of friends, Reza explores pretense and passion in art and  relationships,” said Artistic Director Marti Lyons. “I look forward to delving into ‘ART’ this spring with this wildly talented company of artists. The play will be a joy to stage and a joy to watch.”
