New Conservatory Theatre Center presents the Special Engagement of
"Mapplethorpe: The Opening," a tour-de-force written by and starring
Brian Quirk (originally directed by John Stix; J. Clint Allen is
associate director), as part of NCTC's Silver (25th) Anniversary
Season. This bold solo piece is inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe's
first sex photography show. Brian Quirk brings the art world to life
depicting famous patrons (Diana Vreeland, Andy Warhol, Patti Smith)
and figures from the artist's life as they respond to Mappelthorpe's
graphic work.The resulting play leaves the audience inspired and
assaulted but most of all, the viewer is a VIP guest in the
provocative world of the 1970s downtown art scene.
