"Sunday in the Park with George" now playing at Elmwood Playhouse Theatre

Elmwood is proud to present the area premiere of Sunday in the Park with George, a stunningly beautiful musical and artistic theatrical event.

“Sunday in the Park with George” Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by James Lapine, directed by Claudia Stefany and Jennie Marino.

The first half of this beautiful musical portrays the artist Seurat’s exhilaration and struggles in his exploration of color and light during the neo-impressionist movement. Later, we meet his American descendant, an avant-garde sculptor/inventor at odds with his life, creativity, and the universal dilemmas facing contemporary artists. Inspired by the painting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” by Georges Seurat, Sunday in the Park with George is an intricate opus of art, music, technology and our need for connection.

The Cast features: David Chmielewski, Kimberly Hawkey, Steve Taylor, Helene Gardner, Larry Wilbur, Janica Carpenter, Derek Tarson, Kerry Davis, Larry Gabbard, Margaret Young, Mariann Felice, Emma Ruck, Olivia Didrichsen, Jenn Vogel, Stavros Adamides, Michael Serpe, Hannah Moore, & Julia White.

Noteworthy & Awards: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, two Tony Awards, and several Drama Desk and Olivier Awards.
