Synopsis

Seven One-Acts, Six Monologues!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has come to life!

A fast-paced series of seven comedic plays and six monologues based on 50+ exhibits at The Metropolitan Museum Of Art in NYC.

Paintings, sculptures, antiquities and fertility gods emerge from their molds and frames.

Mix in some artists, guards, critics, lovers, curators and one very special night, and you have this new comedic hit.

In fact, even the artwork speaks to the audience!

Using a variety of theatrical styles and rhythms, on a single set, it can be done with three women and two men or with 36 people!

Flexible casting makes it perfect for all schools and organizations.

The #1 Pick of New York Magazine!
