Directed by Kathryn Walsh

A cutting and comic play, Museum is both an enchanting mosaic of incidents and an incisive account of how we use visual images to make our own meaning. On the final day of an art exhibit entitled “The Broken Silence,” the flamboyant artists, collectors, browsers, and curators—and the security guards who watch over it all—create their own zany pieces of art in this visual, verbal, and musical feast by legendary American absurdist Tina Howe.

Suggested Ages 14+
Approximate Run Time 90 minutes,  no intermission

Audience Advisories: strong language, mentions of gun violence
