dramatic play about the origins of The Impressionist Movement.  It is
infused with humanity, heartbreak and humor showing artists as people like
us who overcame struggles and hardships to successfully pursue their
dream of a new art form.  In this World Premiere, multiple award-winning

friends who made up an artist Salon in Paris in the 1860's.

traditional stage design, adding a variety of elements that will enhance
the theatrical experience.
