Theatre Ink's "Sunday in the Park with George" This Weekend

Although it may be hard to get away from the sun this weekend, you can spend some time supporting local theatre and local schools by checking out the latest production from Newton North's Theatre Ink: Sunday in the Park with George.

Sunday, based on the book by James Lapine and complete with a score by Stephen Sondheim, is a "Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning work is a masterpiece of modern musical theatre." It is directed by David Gore and Skylar Fox with Linda Bard and Melissa Weikart as music directors. 

The Theatre Ink website describes the production:

Inspired by one of the most iconic paintings of all time – Georges Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" – "Sunday" explores essential questions of connection, progress, and the power of creation. Act One, set in 1880s Paris, follows Seurat's life as he struggles to create his masterwork. In Act Two, set more than a hundred years later, George's great-grandson, also an artist, faces similar challenges and looks to the past to find what it takes to "move on."  

The production's opening night was last night, but you can still catch three more performances: tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. The performance takes place in 's Lasker Auditorium. 

Tickets, which can be purchased in advance online, are $10 for adults and $8 for students. 

The cast list for Sunday is as follows:
