A brand new work, devised by a group of Rochester theatre artists in an attempt to answer, challenge and explode the question: what is art? Written by Samantha Marchant and the Devising Ensemble.
Devising Ensemble: Trish Annese, Drea Bim, Bug Carrigan, Ry Fesler, Jon Froehlich, Emily Gammon, Rachel Kodweis, Katherine Marino, Lou McGinnis, Ben McRae, Brin Ribble, Justin Rielly, Nora Savage, Kiefer Schenk, Harold Taddy, Theo Trombulak, Mike Whistler, and Sara Zavacki-Moore.
Follow the stories of an ensemble of art lovers and haters, doers and viewers as they circle around the question of what art is and how and why or if it should even matter.
Leo Tolstoy asked. You might just walk away with an answer.

A limited number of seats will be available on stage, for an immersive (not interactive) experience. These seats will be offered on a first come, first served basis, at the door, at no additional cost.
