Based freely on the work and early life of surrealist artist Rene Magritte, this is an unorthodox adventure intheatrical form. It celebrates art and the imagination, and the ways in which these help us confront life's mysteries.

Here is the story of young Rene, who wants to be an artist -- a notion dismissed by his father as "a pipe dream." Encouraged by his mother, before her untimely death, the boy begins his quest, following his vision into the delightfully absurd magic-realism of his famous paintings. Boy and audience discover something of the true power of dreams and the triumph of imagination.

In partnership with the Speed Art Museum, The Alley Theater for Young Audiences is thrilled to present this fantastical play. It will be performed at the Museum itself with opportunities for families and school groups alike to experience the fun. Tickets include free admission to the Speed Art Museum.

Performance Schedule:
--June 1 at 7 p.m.
--June 2 at 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
--June 3 at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Imagine that hand-written note you keep in a drawer, that ink smudge on the meat of your palm, the volumes of meaning in the curl at the end of your signature - all gone. Imagine it’s about to happen. Imagine it’s about to get worse.

A dangerous lecture on typography turns deadly in a not-so-distant future where the page has been absorbed by the Cloud and the author has lost all authority. Words quickly become action in this dystopian thriller from the author of Kid Simple and Maple and Vine.

Friday-Saturday, June 1-2, 8:00pm
Monday, June 4, 8:00pm
Friday-Saturday, June 8-9, 8:00pm

Discounted parking of $8 in the Actors Theatre garage. The garage is exclusive to theatre patrons (even when there’s an event at the Yum! Center).
