Spend a day with Pulitzer Prize winning composer and chief music critic for the New York Herald Tribune, Virgil Thomson, as he runs the world of music from his bed in the Chelsea Hotel. Thomson is considered to be one of the most remarkable, influential and controversial artists in the history of contemporary American music. In this new play with music, eight of Thomson?s art songs and several of his piano portraits are part of this kaleidoscopic portrait of a man and a time when the world of modern art and music exploded.

Oh Virgil! is made possible by the generous leadership support of The Virgil Thomson Foundation.

The production features scenic design by David Ogle, costume design by Raul Aktanov and lighting design by Jake Platt. Jillian Zeman is the associate producer and production stage manager.

Fridays at 8 p.m.
Saturdays at 8 p.m.
