THE ART OF LONGING<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2017-2018/the-art-of-longing/> by Lisa Langford
Themes of race, gender and the nature of art interlace in this theatrical experiment
OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 18

Set in Cleveland, The Art of Longing follows the lives of three "third-shift" people-those who guard and take care while the rest of us sleep. The characters' secrets mask deeply held yearnings that manifest in fantastical abilities and anatomical switch-ups. Race, gender and the nature of art are at the focal point of this theatrical experiment. The Art of Longing fashions a world where dreams and reality interpenetrate each other. World Premiere.
