FHT to Present SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE

Inspired by the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, Sunday in the Park with George, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's stunning masterpiece merges past and present into beautiful, poignant truths about life, love and the creation of art. One of the most acclaimed musicals of our time, this moving study of the enigmatic painter Georges Seurat won a Pulitzer Prize and was nominated for an astounding 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical.

The days leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, Georges Seurat is struggling to make meaningful art and maintaining a relationship with his lover, Dot. Amid the scorn of the artistic community, Seurat's artistic ability thrives while his love diminishes. A century later, Seurat's descendant - named George and also an artist - finds himself burnt out and in search of what artistic path to follow, but he finds the answer to his future in the past. Sunday in the Park with George is produced through special arrangement with Music Theater International

Sunday In The Park with George is produced by Anne Kelleher, directed and choreographed by Damon J. Bolling, and musically directed by Jennifer Whiting. The show stars: Kyle Bennett, Kathleen Berger, Jean-Paoul Clemente, Laura Dooley, Aimee Gajate, Casey Karapetian, Leah Klein, Andrew Lipman, Matt McDonald, Erin McFeely, Devon Nickel, Lee Powers, Debra Qualtire, Chloe Rozalsky, and Audrey Sullivan
