Master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko has landed the biggest commission in the January, 2015 history of modern art, a series of murals for New York's Four Seasons Restaurant. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken. But when Ken begins to challenge his ideas, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could become his undoing. Raw and provocative, "Red" is a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability-and the winner of the 2010 Tony Award for Best Play.

The show is directed by Corey Rubel, produced by Joe Buz, and stage managed by CJ Carter, and stars Kris Longwell as Mark Rothko and Adam Magnacca as Ken.
