A beautiful and unpredictable new play about a young art student, Danny Boudreaux, and his summer apprenticeship with renowned artist, Mina Davenport. Danny's plan is to improve his technique through Mina’s tutelage and enter the league of fine artists. But Mina has given up art and is living a Bohemian life in her cabin in the Connecticut woods with houseguests: Father Beau, a defrocked priest, and a runaway teen, Pim. Danny is surprised at Mina’s lifestyle and by her thorny and uncooperative attitude. They clash, and soon Danny sees that Mina’s methods of mentorship require him to uncover the secrets of his own life and to help her complete her next painting.
The play is stylized and calls for an arrangement of scenic elements suggesting several locations: New York City, Mina’s studio in Connecticut and other places, both today and yesterday. Shifts in lighting move the story from place to place, time to time.
Four men, three women. Two acts.
