The Iowa premiere of a brand new work by Lauren Gunderson!
We are thrilled to welcome, Director of the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art, Lauren Lessing to join us on Saturday June 29. At approximately 9:15 pm, following our performance, Dr. Lessing will speak on “The Theatrical Spectacle in the Florentine Paintings of Artemisia Gentileschi.” This presentation is free and open to the public.
Artemisia Gentileschi was the most celebrated female painter of the 17th century, yet her name was all but lost for centuries. Attacked at just seventeen, publicly shamed and tortured to prove her truth, Gentileschi nevertheless fought for her art and the freedom to make it on her own term. Always contending with her father, consumed with passion for her lover, and ferociously devoted to her children, Artemisia is a modern woman before her time. Artemisia is a work of humor and warmth that celebrates the courage, artistry, and humanity of a woman who attacked the glass ceiling with every brush stroke.
Content Note: The script contains adult language and situations, as well as discussions of sexual assault, and the death of a child.
While we are not having our usual Pay What You Can Night, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If you need a price break please contact us at [email protected] to see if there are any tickets available.
