"Red", The Theatre Centre, Toronto, ON

Gord and I volunteered as ushers at the opening night of RED this evening at The Theatre Centre on Queen Street W (just west of Dovercourt Road).

 It's an intense story about painter Mark Rothko and Ken, his assistant, and the two actors did an excellent job. 

RED reflects on what it means to create a space for contemplation. What can art teach us about finding the balance? How can we use it to process complex emotions and work through our trauma? From prepping canvases and mixing pigments to their symbiotic dance of painting, Rothko and his new assistant, Ken, are weighed in the balance, challenging each other on art, life and what it means to be human.
