The Live Arts Teen Theatre Ensemble (LATTE) will present This Is Not a Pipe Dream, a play by Barry Kornhauser and directed by Will Rucker.
This Is Not a Pipe Dream is a magical story of the surrealist painter Rene Magritte in his youth. Encouraged by his mother despite his father’s protestations, Magritte pursues his passion, and ventures into a world of delightfully absurd magic-realism that inspires his famous paintings. The play captures the dreamlike quality of Magritte’s art, and borrows elements from silent films, farce, Commedia dell’arte, and vaudeville to illustrate the transformational power of the imagination.
This play is suitable for all ages. The Live Arts cast includes: Tiffany Ames, Elliot Craft, Daniel Neale, Courtney Sigloh, and Scottie Wardell. Performances start on Friday, February 3 and run through February 18. For a complete schedule, click here.
