Inspired by French painter Georges Seurat and his iconic 1884 masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, this groundbreaking musical brings the artist's world to life, as the figures of Seurat's park step out of the canvas and into the theater, moving, singing, and breathing in color and light. In Act I, George revolutionizes painting with an avant-garde technique. In Act II, his great-grandson attempts to push his art into the age of technology. Across a century, both wrestle with creation, connection, and what we leave behind when everything else changes. Epic in scale, daring, and abstract, this Stephen Sondheim classic is an unflinching and deeply human look at the art of making art.
Runtime: 2 hours & 45 minutes including intermission

"For many musical theatre people, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE is at the top of the list when it comes to favorites," said Director/Producer Scott Evan Guggenheim. "Obviously Sondheim and Lapine are masters so getting to perform a masterpiece is unforgettable but it's more than that because the piece itself speaks directly to artists. Everyone involved in this production views their participation as a moment that will not likely be eclipsed any time soon because getting to dig deep into the material and experience it, unravel it, master it, and ultimately present it to an eager audience of Sondheim fans...well it's a rare, once in a lifetime moment for our performers and designers."
