Season 73 Opens with RED

Join us September 26-October 12 for the provocative drama, RED by John Logan. When abstract expressionist Mark Rothko is commissioned to paint murals for New York’s famed Four Seasons Restaurant, he throws himself into the work with relentless intensity. Will this be his masterpiece—or his downfall? RED is a riveting portrait of artistic ambition, power, and vulnerability in the pursuit of something enduring.

Seating is limited for this intimate show—make your plans today!
