Set in Mark Rothko’s painting studio in New York City in the 1950s, RED is an emotional and dynamic play which shows Rothko’s absorption in his work through the lens of his new assistant and aspiring painter. Director Vito Zingarelli sums the play up as, “the illumination of a creative process brought to life onstage.” Tickets for Friday and Saturday shows are $24; $22 for seniors; ages 18 and under free. Sunday all seats $17; ages 18 and under free. Visit www.wicaonline.org.
