Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? A translation of a French-language play, <em style="">Art</em> 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.</span></div></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span mce_style="font-size: 12pt;" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" mce_style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></div></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"> </div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><b style=""><br style=""></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><div style=""><b style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span mce_style="font-size: 24pt;" style="font-size: 24pt;"><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;" mce_style="font-size: 24pt;">Tickets: $20</span></span></span></span></b></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><i style=""><span style="font-size: 18pt;" mce_style="font-size: 18pt;">Get your tickets NOW!</span></i></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><font face="Times New Roman" style=""><br style=""></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" style="">To purchase tickets for this show <a href="http://www.blankcanvastheatre.com/art-tickets/" title="CLICK HERE" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" style=""><br style=""></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" style=""><font face="verdana, geneva" style="">To view a poster for the show <a href="http://www.blankcanvastheatre.com/art/" title="CLICK HERE" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></font></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br style=""></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><font face="verdana, geneva" style="">To see a CAST & STAFF list for this production <a href="http://www.blankcanvastheatre.com/art-cast/" title="CLICK HERE" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><font face="verdana, geneva" style=""><br></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><font face="verdana, geneva" style="">To view IMAGES from the show <a href="http://www.blankcanvastheatre.com/2019-season-photos/art/" mce_href="http://www.blankcanvastheatre.com/2019-season-photos/art/" title="CLICK HERE" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></font></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br></div></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"> </div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br style=""></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><div style=""><div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;" style=""><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;"><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 14pt;" style=""> <b style="">Blank Canvas Theatre</b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;"><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="">(at 78th Street Studios)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="font-size:12pt;"><span mce_style="font-size: 18pt;" style="">1305 West 78th Street, Suite 211.
