Providence Monthly is pleased to sponsor the Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre’s production of Red by John Logan, directed by Tony Estrella, opening November 8 and running through December 16.

This passionate play about the famous abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko won the Tony Award for "Best Play," sweeping Broadway with its masterful exploration into the soul of an artist, spanning grief and despair, ecstasy and hope. Logan's stunning two-person play fictionalizes Rothko's artistic and emotional journey as he creates a series of highly lucrative murals commissioned for Manhattan's newest, most exclusive restaurant. But at what personal cost?
