Helltown Players is excited to announce the world premiere of a sharp, witty, and thought-provoking new play, Portraiture, by Margaret Van Sant.

Set in the Rare Reading Room of Yale’s Beinecke Library, Portraiture follows an art historian leading a tour when she arrives at a gallery showcasing portraits of three legendary women-Gertrude Stein (painted by Francis Picabia), Alice B. Toklas (painted by Dora Maar), and Mabel Dodge Luhan (painted by Mary Foote.) As she examines their lives and legacies, unexpected questions arise, and history proves to be anything but silent.

Karen McPherson  as Alice B. Toklas
Anna Botsford as Mabel Dodge Luhan
Kathleen Larson Day as Gertrude Stein
Kristin Stewart as Sylvia

Doors open at 7:00 pm

Location: D'Alessandro Auditorium
