Toby Wilson directs this riveting drama about masterpieces real and imagined, opens on March 28 and continues through April 20 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 2pm.
A haunting and hallucinatory drama about the making of art, “Inventing Van Gogh” is the story of the final van Gogh self-portrait, painted just before the artist’s death, which has never been seen…until now. Patrick Stone, a contemporary painter is hired to forge this final masterpiece—and finds himself squaring off, across the years, with van Gogh himself. The result is a compelling mystery about the obsession to create and the fine line that separates truth from myth.
General admission tickets are $18, $16 for seniors, $12 for CCftA members and $10 for students. To reserve tickets, kindly call the box office at 508-428-0669. For more information, please click here.

and 1937. Their musical Of Thee I Sing brought them a Pulitzer Prize and in 1935, during the height of the
great depression, they composed the opera Porgy and Bess. Their songs are as popular today as they were when
they were first premiered. Mr.
Murelle, along with musical director Steve Lindberg and guest artist Kathryn
Alongi will share the songs and stories that are George and Ira Gershwin.
Mr. Murelle is a frequent presenter
of recitals and concerts throughout the area. In addition to his popular
American Songbook series, his classical vocal concerts have included Schubert’s
Die Schöne Müllerin, Schumann’s Dichterliebe, Fauré’s La Bonne Chanson and La Voix Poetiqué, songs of the Belle Epoch.
Popular entertainer and humorist, Steve Lindberg
originally hails from Syracuse, NY. Classically trained on violin, piano, and
voice, he enjoyed early success fiddling with both the Erie and Florida
Philharmonic Orchestras.In the 90s, Lindberg scored big as music director for
Capitol/Nashville recording artist Billy Dean, where he remained for eight
years. He has appeared with many popular artists, such as Shari Lewis, Buddy
Rich, Doc Severinsen, Roberta Peters, Merle Haggard, Dan Seals, George Hamilton
IV, and Trick Pony.
