MUSEUM PIECE Presented

 

MUSEUM PIECE, a new one-act play, was produced at the Downtown Urban Theater Festival at the Theatre for a New City in New York April 2010. A disruptive incident at the Museum of Modern Art brings three strangers together one Saturday afternoon. In this comedic tale, our three visitors are drawn to the museum for very different reasons and have oddly different experiences once they get there, leading to the unavoidable conclusion that the people who go to museums are often more compelling than the works on display.
