RED Opens Unicorn’s 38th Season, Previews 9/14

Unicorn Theatre's 38th Season of BOLDNEWPLAYS will open with the 2010 Tony Award Winner for Best Play, RED by John Logan. A startling snapshot of an angry and brilliant artist at the height of his fame, RED and takes you into the mind of master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko, for whom paintings are pulsating life forces and intended to "rip out your guts and expose your soul." Producing Artistic Director Cynthia Levin will direct. Local theatre legend Jim Birdsall will take on the role of Mark Rothko and Sam Cordes will play Ken, Rothko's young assistant. RED previews September 14-18 and runs September 20-October 2, 2011.

Performances Tuesday through Thursday are at 7:30 pm, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 pm and Sunday at 3:00 pm. Join us for a talk back immediately after the show with the director, actors on September 20, 25 and 27.
