The saying goes that 'one man's trash is another man's treasure', and that old adage is brought into sharp focus by Yasmina Reza's provocative script for her play ART. But, the play also examines relationships, and how tenuous they can become when fundamental disagreements occur between friends.

In the acoustically perfect confines of the Sheldon Concert Hall, these unique melodies made a glorious noise.
