Artemisia is presented as part of World Premiere Wisconsin

Forward Theater is proud to present the World Premiere of Artemisia, a new play by Lauren Gunderson (author of Silent Sky and I and You). Artemisia Gentileschi was the most celebrated female painter of the 17th century, yet her name is remembered by few. A work of humor and warmth that celebrates the courage, artistry, and humanity of a woman who attacked the glass ceiling with every brush stroke. Artemisia is presented as part of World Premiere Wisconsin, a statewide festival celebrating new plays and musicals.

Tickets for the ASL interpreted performance on Saturday 4/29 at 2pm available here.

 

Please note that the April 30 11:59pm performance listing is for the digital viewing option.
