The Barn Theatre concludes its sensational 53rd season with its musical thriller, Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Sweeney Todd has become a worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It is the unsettling tale of a Victorian-era barber who returns home to London after fifteen years of exile to take revenge on the corrupt judge who ruined his life. When revenge alludes him, Sweeney swears vengeance on the entire human race, murdering as many people as he can. With Stephen Sondheim's most perfect score, Sweeney Todd is lush, operatic, and full of soaring beauty, pitch-black comedy, and stunning terror. It has been called one of the most significant achievements of the American musical theater in the last fifty years. And you will marvel at both the special effects and exceptional cast that has been brought together for this epic musical.
Cast Members include Josh Roland-Bramkamp (Sweeney Todd), Sharon Owens (Ms. Lovetts), Lila Fuchs (Johanna), Rick Decker (Judge Turpin), Michael Dodds (Beadle Bamford), Brittany Rose Weber (Beggar Woman), Sam McCulley (Tobias), Andy Morejon (Anthony Hope), Dave Murray (Pirelli), Aaron Pecc (Bird Seller/Ensemble), and Kevin Korman (Jonas Fogg/Ensemble).

A.C.T. Presents Tony-Award Winner for Best Play
“Red” by John Logan

A.C.T. Studio Theatre will present the 2010 Tony Award Winner for Best Play, John Logan’s “Red,” about master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko who is widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of his generation. Raw and provocative, “Red” is a searing portrait of an artist’s ambition and vulnerability.
We begin with Rothko at the height of his fame in 1958 after landing the biggest commission in the history of modern art to paint murals for The Four Seasons restaurant in midtown Manhattan, a midcentury-chic upscale haunt of the famous and powerful. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant Ken in his small studio, but Rothko soon faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing.
Among the difficult questions the crackling dialogue examines is the notion of what constitutes a true artist and true art, as well as an artist’s personal struggle between art and ambition. The themes are as relevant today as they were 60 years ago.
A.C.T.’s intimate setting will immerse you in Rothko’s small Manhattan art studio on May 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Reserved seating is $26. For tickets and information, please visit actstudiotheatre.com or call (772) 932-8880. A.C.T. Studio Theatre is located in the Cedar Pointe Plaza, 2399 SE Ocean Blvd., Stuart. Adult language.
