THE CANVAS by Justin Lazor - Zoom Reading March 24
by Playwrights Local 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Playwrights Local Presents A Free Reading of a New Play *THE CANVAS* *Written by Justin LazorDirected by Melissa Crum* Wednesday, March 24 at 7:00 pm Presented Online via Zoom INFO & ZOOM ACCESS http://www.playwrightslocal.org/winter-roundtable-series-2021/ SYNOPSIS *The Canvas *is an examination of what we mean by “art” and a journey toward and across the thin line that separates art from violence. A scholarship student at an elite art school, Deborah finds it hard to fit in amongst her pretentious classmates, Gabriel and Michelle, who ostracize her for both her socioeconomic difference as well as her ideas about what constitutes art. When their flamboyant teacher, Professor Poisson, unveils his latest masterpiece, a completely blank canvas, Michelle and Gabriel fawn over his genius, but Deborah feels compelled to call “bullshit” and point out the fact that the emperor has no clothes. This sets into motion a heated battle of wits between teacher and student, which ultimately culminates in Deborah creating a shocking work of art that none of the others will ever forget. FEATURING Peter E. Toomey Ariana Starkman Hannah Storch Eric Golovan ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT Justin Lazor is a lifelong resident of the Cleveland area, as well as a lifelong student at Cleveland State University. In addition to currently being a 2nd year playwriting candidate in the NEOMFA program, he’s also earned both a BA and an MA at CSU.
