The Art Room Program Note

"In an era when dark humor is in fashion and stress is a commonly shared condition in our society — personally, socially, economically and politically — a humor that transcends time and goes to the heart of the human need for love and capacity for happiness will always have a place in the theater. The appeal of Billy Aronson’s The Art Room is that the common metaphor is literalized: Love isn’t like madness — it simultaneously becomes a physical manifestation of madness and the humanizing aspect that connects us all."
