Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? A translation of a French-language play, <i style="">Art</i> is about one man, Serge, who buys an expensive painting, a white canvas with a few white lines, and the reactions of his friends, Marc and Yvan, to his purchase. Marc responds with shock and anger; for him, Serge's purchase of the painting is a cruel joke. Yvan tries to mediate the hostility between Serge and Marc, at the cost of redirecting them to himself. As the conversations moves from the theoretical to the personal, the three friends are forced to ask questions not only about the nature of art, but about the nature of friendship. <o:p style=""></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><i style="">_____________________________________________</i></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><i style=""><br style=""></i></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style=""><b style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="font-size: 18pt;">LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE</span><font face="verdana, geneva" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><o:p style=""></o:p></font></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Book by James Lapine<o:p style=""></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Music & Lyrics by William Finn<o:p style=""></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Based on the film written by Michael Arndt<o:p style=""></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><o:p style=""> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><b style="">Directed by: Jonathan Kronenberger</b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><b style=""><br style=""></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style=""><b style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" mce_style="font-size: 14pt;">May 17 – June 1</span></span><font face="verdana, geneva" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><o:p style=""></o:p></font></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><b style=""> </b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">From the Tony Award-winning team of James Lapine (<i style="">Into the Woods</i>, <i style="">Sunday in the Park with George</i>) and William Finn (<i style="">25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee</i>) comes a musical comedy about one modern family's unexpected route to brighter days.

Melvin Ferd, the Third, wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey (just off Exit 13B on the Turnpike). Foiled by the mayor's bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey's first superhero. Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town. It's a toxic love story with an environmental twist! The Toxic Avenger will leave audiences laughing in the aisles as it rocks the house.
