Berko review: ART @ Blank Canvas
by Roy Berko 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: “Art” is a fine example of “thinking-persons” theater. It is the type of script that stays with the viewer a long time after the production encouraging probing into the value of not only art, but friendships and relationships. Blank Canvas helps the thinking process with a strong production.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
