Theatre NOVA Announces the World Premiere of SPLATTERED! By Hal Davis and Carla Milarch

Theatre NOVA, Ann Arbor's resident nonprofit professional theatre, kicks off the new year with the world premiere of "SPLATTERED!" by Hal Davis and Carla Milarch, which runs April 21 through May 14, 2023.

It is evening at New York's Museum of Modern Art, where old friends, cousins, and lovers - Sylvie, Astrid, and Justin - gather at a wedding reception. Seminarian Justin sneaks off to be alone in Gallery 406, where he encounters Jackson Pollock's famous splatter painting One: Number 31, 1950. As the painting mesmerizes him, Pollock's ghost emerges to challenge some of Justin's most fundamental beliefs, divulging stories, and secrets of Pollock's turbulent life. Meanwhile, Astrid and Sylvie come and go, appealing to Justin to join the party, as conflicts from their past bubble back to the surface, prompting Justin to question his choices and his chosen future.

Directed by Briana O'Neal, "SPLATTERED!" features Artun Kircali, Marie Muhammad, Andrew Huff, and Allison Megroet. The production and design team includes MONICA SPENCER and Forrest Hejkal (scenic design), Jeff Alder (lighting design), Genevieve Compton (costume design), Carla Milarch (sound and props), and Carolyn Pierce (stage manager).
