This is a fascinating new drama about an art museum and the two men – one Caucasian, the other African-American – who struggle against tradition, racial issues and their own tightly held beliefs to run it. The Morris Foundation houses a world-renowned collection of Impressionist paintings and early African sculptures. After the recent death of its eccentric founder, The Morris Foundation ended up in the hands of two men who disagree on how the collections should be displayed What begins as a private discussion between colleagues about the ownership of art and the right to determine its value soon escalates into charges of racism from both sides. This could destroy the museum and the workers.
The Unicorn is located at 3828 Main Street in Kansas City, Mo. You can call 816-531-7529 for more information or access the web at www.unicorntheatre.org.
