Village Players of Fort Thomas is excited to announce the cast for Yasmina Reza’s ART. Directed by John Leo Muething and produced by Katie Jensen and Aimee Ward, Art will be presented in six performances over two weeks from Friday, February 23 to Saturday, March 2, 2024, at the Village Players Theater, 8 N Fort Thomas Ave., Fort Thomas, KY 41075. Performances will commence at 8:00pm, except for the Sunday, February 25 matinee at 2:00pm. Tickets are $20 and available online at www.villageplayers.org.

Featuring:

• Serge – Eric Thomas
• Marc – Keith Cassidy
• Yvan – Jay Dallas Benson

“Art” revolves around three friends, Serge, Marc, and Yvan, whose relationships are tested when Serge buys an expensive modern painting – a white canvas with white lines. This seemingly simple act becomes a catalyst for a series of humorous and poignant discussions about the nature of art, personal taste, and the value we place on our friendships. As the characters grapple with differing perspectives, “Art” provides a witty and insightful commentary on the intricacies of human relationships.

Director John Leo Muething says, “I am thrilled to see this production and these characters come to life. We have an amazing cast that I think will have people rolling in their seats.”

Village Players of Fort Thomas is a vibrant community theatre, continually producing plays and musicals for almost 60 years. Our productions range across a spectrum of periods and styles, presented in our intimate, three-quarter-thrust performance space in the heart of Fort Thomas, Kentucky. We stage innovative and of-the-moment works alongside beloved classic pieces while serving as an incubator for new talent, ideas, and writing. Each season features four mainstage shows, including a family-friendly winter production, as well as a summer production of original short plays produced by the New Works branch of the group.
