Oregon Jewish Museum invites you to join us at the March 15th performance of Red, the compelling play about Mark Rothko at 7:30pm at Portland Center Stage/Gerding Theatre. We are pleased to inform you that not only do we have the best seats in the house for this performance but also that a generous portion of your ticket price will help support the work of the Museum.

 

A bio-drama about the renowned modern artist (and Oregon-raised) Mark Rothko, Red earned critical laurels in its New York run last season. Set in the 1950s, when Rothko was commissioned to create a series of large pieces of art for the new Four Seasons Restaurant, Red tackles big questions about art—what it takes to create it, and where it belongs in our world. Perhaps more importantly the play invites us to experience a legendary artist through the lens of the assistant brought on to help him with a project Rothko is not so sure he can accept completing. The New York Times described it as “a portrait of an angry and brilliant mind that asks you to feel the shape and texture of thoughts…as much as any stage work I can think of, Red captures the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creations.”

 

We hope you will join us for this wonderful evening of performance in support of OJM. Reservations are now available directly through the Museum office.
