On November 5th Arkansas Down Syndrome Assoc. and Precious Baby Ministry will be hosting the wonderful play Red at The Rep in Little Rock. The play is directed by Robert Hupp and stars Joseph Graves. We will have heavy hors d'oeuvres by Flavours and a silent auction. Proceeds will allow ADSA and PBM to provide a scholarship for families who have children with Down syndrome to pay for a special neurodevelopmental program. This will allow these families a special opportunity to participate in advanced therapeutic modalities that they may not otherwise afford. This special program is not covered by insurance and therefore is a complete out of pocket expense for families.
For tickets please call (501)350-6000 or (501)952-7814.
Thank you for your support in making this a success.
RED
"There is only one thing I fear in life, my friend... One day the black will swallow the red."
Mark Rothko is in his New York studio in 1958-9, painting a group of murals for the expensive and exclusive Four Seasons restaurant. He gives orders to his assistant, Ken, as he mixes the paints, makes the frames, and paints the canvases. Ken, however, brashly questions Rothko's theories of art and his acceding to work on such a commercial project.
The play won the 2010 Drama League Award for Distinguished Production of a Play and Molina won the Distinguished Performance Award.
The play was nominated for a total of seven Tony Awards, winning six, including: Best Play, Best Featured Actor in a Play for Eddie Redmayne, Best Direction of a Play for Michael Grandage, Best Scenic Design of a Play for Christopher Oram, Best Lighting Design of a Play for Neil Austin and Best Sound Design of a Play for Adam Cork. All in all, it received the most wins out of any other production that season. The play also won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play while Grandage and Austin were honoured with Drama Desk Awards for their work. Molina, Cork and Oram were also similarly nominated.
