Shotgun Players kicks off 2025 season with 'Art'
Briefly

Shotgun Players is set to open its 33rd season with Yasmina Reza's acclaimed play 'Art', starting March 8. Directed by Emilie Whelan, this production delves into the comedic and dramatic nuances of male friendship as three friends confront their differing perceptions of art following Serge's purchase of a controversial modern artwork. The play, recognized with the Tony Award for Best Play in 1998, humorously explores themes of personal values and the complexities of relationships, urging the audience to engage in self-reflection on integrity and beliefs through its sharp dialogue and character interactions.
In addition to friendship, the play explores themes of personal values and the subjective nature of art, prompting audiences to reflect on their own personal relationships, values, integrity and beliefs.
Clowns in power acting on their best behavior and getting more dangerously clownish by the year. All that fighting for power we see around us is about something a lot more vulnerable than power.
