The award-winning Northside Theatre Company, now in the midst of its 33rd season, presents the play Art. This brilliantly witty, thought-provoking comedy by Yasmina Reza (God of Carnage) tells the story of three men whose 15-year friendship is tested when one of them buys an expensive modern painting that triggers differing opinions. As the argument moves even deeper, it finds each man revealing his need to justify his own self-worth. Art picked up a Tony Award for Best Play in 1998.

The Little Dog Laughed: Satire Skewers Hollywood Culture

Full Price:
$20.00
Our Price:
$10.00

A satirical look at the scandalous world of young celebrity, The Little Dog Laughed playfully exposes the challenges of being gay in Hollywood. In this Northside Theatre Company production, a rising movie star gets pulled in all directions by his spin-doctor agent, the sexy "rent-boy" who has caught his eye and the rent-boy's naïve and needy girlfriend -- not to mention the photographers who track their every move. In its off-Broadway run, The Little Dog Laughed was nominated for the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding New York Theatre; after moving to Broadway, it earned a Tony nomination for Best Play.

I thoroughly enjoyed this play. It was well acted with great dialogue. It is amazing how a seemingly innocent event in our lives can shake the foundations of friendships forged over time and cause us to re-examine the basis for our continued friendships. I would highly recommend this humorous and poignant play to anyone wishing a great time and also willing to accept a challenge in their lives to re-examine their existing friendships and loves. Go see it with someone.

Plot is not very realistic (Guys don;t talk like that), but somehow it is smooth and flowing, and a bit funny when needed, so overwhole an enjoyable experience

Description

One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. It's about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the work. Another friend, Ivan, allows himself to be pulled into this disagreement. Eager to please, Ivan tells Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over various failures. As their arguments become more personal, they border on destroying their friendships. At the breaking point, Serge hands Marc a felt tip pen and dares him: "Go on." This is where the friendship is finally tested, and the aftermath of action, and its reaction, affirms the power of those bonds.
