Main Street Players to Present THE PAINTING, 3/14-16

Opening for one weekend only, the Main Street Players of Miami Lakes wil present MIA Dreamscapes' production of The Painting.

Written by absurdist author Eugene Ionesco and directed by Isaac Polanco, this bizarre work is about a negotiation between a struggling artist and a wealthy benefactor. The artist, known as The Painter, wants to sell his painting to the benefactor, known as The Stout Gentleman, for a good price. But, The Stout Gentleman intimidates and bullies The Painter, successfully low-balling him to an almost criminal degree. The audience eventually learns why The Stout Gentleman covets these painting so much and how far he is willing to go to attain both beauty and fulfillment.

The show features Michelle Antelo, Lou Castro, Richard Cifuentes and Nathalie Nodarse and runs March 14th -16th, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 PM and Sunday at 5:00 PM. Tickets for this production will only be $15 and are available on Main Street Players' website or at the door prior to admission.
