Seeing ‘Red’ at Stage West
To some, modern artist Mark Rothko’s works were just splotches of unwieldy color, but how he influenced — and was influenced by — other artists in capturing emotion goes much deeper … for him and his protege, especially as he works on a challenging commission for the Four Seasons restaurant in NYC. Gay playwright John Logan won a Tony for Red, his investigation into the creative process and how it affects those around him, with Jim Covault as Rothko and Nate Davis as his assistant Ken.

But if you’ve never seen it — or simply want to see it again with the appropriate commentary — writer/performer David Schmader brings his one-night-only talk-along show to North Texas, a live show of running jokes and observations about the cult phenomenon.
