Upcoming Auditions

291

by Jade O’Keeffe (Canadian playwright)

Director: Lisa Dixon

Producer: Kym Hyde

291 explores the love relationship of two of the most influential figures in early modernist art: Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz. In 1915, after Stieglitz discovered some of O’Keeffe’s charcoal drawings, sent to him by her friend and fellow classmate Anita Pollitzer, Stieglitz and O’Keeffe began a correspondence that would last until Stieglitz’s death in 1946. Throughout those three decades they exchanged over 5,000 letters. This play one-act play is inspired by those letters. Approximate length: 1 hour
