World Premiere THE MOST DESERVING Opens Tonight at The Ricketson Theatre

THE MOST DESERVING is a play about a small town Arts Council that has $20,000 to award to a local artist with an "under-represented American voice." Should they choose the teacher/painter of modest talent or the self-taught artist who creates religious figures out of trash? This comedy explores how gossip, politics and opinions of art can decide who is the most deserving.

The show will run from tonight, October 11 to November 17. The performance times are Tuesday to Thursday at 6:30, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30, and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:30.
