Description

Join us in the Chazen Auditorium for a play reading!

Vitebsk, Russia, the early 20th century: Marc Chagall assembles a collective of remarkable artists in hopes of creating a school free for anyone who wishes to study. In the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution, however, that dream proves complex, as philosophies and personalities collide.

Forward Theater brings James Sherman’s play to the Chazen as a precursor and companion piece to their upcoming production of The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk.
