Simcoe Little Theatre is bringing a thought-provoking and entertaining production to the stage this March. Art, is a witty and insightful play about friendship, perception, and the power of perspective. Director Courtney Deelen tells us more.
The story follows three longtime friends who find themselves in a heated debate over a very expensive piece of white artwork. While one character sees depth and meaning, another sees nothing, and the third simply wants to keep the peace. As tensions rise, their differences threaten to unravel years of friendship, leading to both hilarious and emotional moments. To fully understand this play, Deelen dissected Art for its deeper meaning in order to bring it to life for the audience.
She shared that after reading the play, she knew exactly who she wanted to cast for each character.
Deelen added the cast was able to embody their characters so convincingly that she is confident that audiences will be immersed in their performances. She went on to describes Art as a play that will make audiences both laugh and reflect. Afterall, understanding another person’s perspective is a universal idea and opens the play to a broad audience.
You won’t want to miss Art at the Simcoe Little Theatre. The show runs from March 6th–16th, with tickets available at simcoelittletheatre.org.
