The play, which centers on the art scene in France in the mid-1800s, is guaranteed to make audiences laugh out loud, according to stage manager Sam Orlando, a nursing major from Spencerport.
“Everyone knows an artist is more well-known once they’re dead,” she said, “so how far will one painter go to make himself and his family rich? Come find out at this hilarious show. There will be art, song, death, love, scandal, and even a touch of cross dressing.”
