(October 7th, 2022 – St. Louis, MO.) – Da Vinci & Michelangelo: The Titans Experience returns to The Westport Playhouse – STL for select holiday performances featuring matinee and evening performances beginning Thanksgiving weekend Nov. 26th through Dec. 30th, 2022.

Created and performed by Mark Rodgers, the performance was first conceived as an exhibition celebrating the work of these two giants of the Italian Renaissance.  This unique, multi-media production views the works of these two distinctive rivals through a dramatic and contemporary lens.  The Titans Experience, now in its 8th season, has toured across the United States and performed its 100 Off-Broadway performance at the SoHo Playhouse in NYC on March 11th, 2022.      

“Da Vinci & Michelangelo has something that everyone can relate to,” says Rodgers. “The impact of everything they said and did can be found in our lives today.”

“We are thrilled to be returning to the Westport Playhouse.  The theaters’ newly installed 40 foot, HD video wall establishes the Playhouse as one of the top, state of the art venues in the country and a perfect fit for our multi-media production,” explains Rodgers. Through exploration of their inventions, machines, sketches, paintings, and sculptures, Rodgers connects the immortal work of Da Vinci & Michelangelo to modern day geniuses, including Les Paul, Van Cliburn, and Paul McCartney, and encourages audiences to discover their own “inner” Da Vinci and Michelangelo.

Da Vinci & Michelangelo: The Titans Experience is directed by Bill Stine.  Lighting for the production has been design by Maarten Cornelis and sound design is by Matthew Palmer.

“Fantastic experience. Mark Rodgers brings Michelangelo and Leonardo to life with passion, wit and verve.” Michael J Gelb Author “How to think like Leonardo DaVinci”

“I was fascinated with all of it, captivated by most of it….. a true experience” SMASH STL

“I’ve studied DaVinci and Michelangelo and seen many of their works in Italy but was introduced in today’s wonderful performance to them as “persons.” They came alive and real with characteristics that are innate to all of us. This humanistic focus enraptured me. I feel so uplifted! A masterful performance that was presented with intellectual clarity and deep emotion.” L. M. – NYC
