True Art by Jessica Provenz is a sharp and funny tale of ambition, deception, and self-discovery in the high stakes and cutthroat art world.

When an idealistic art history major lands a dream job at a prestigious museum, she’s swept into a whirlwind of champagne toasts, secret deals, and whispers of a lost painting by Michelangelo. But as she untangles the web of secrets around her, she begins to question not just who she can trust, but the limits of her own ambition. True Art is a playful and thought-provoking look at the cost of chasing success and the search for authenticity.

Every Script in Hand playreading is a brand new experience.

At a Script in Hand playreading, there’s nothing between you and the actors on stage. These readings bring actors who’ve just met - or who’ve known each other for years - together for one day to rehearse and perform a play on a bare stage, with simple lighting - and you. The audience is in charge of conjuring the set, costumes, and atmosphere - or nothing at all. Actors, audience, and the director come together to create a special, one-night-only experience.

Running Time: 2 hours with one intermission
