Justin is coming undone. The McMillon Museum of Art’s oldest and most charming intern is guiding patrons to an exhibit of a recently discovered painting by Vincent Van Gogh. But Justin is freaking out. Just one floor below, his own artwork is being scrutinized in a big competition that could thrust him into the career of his dreams.

The Exhibitionist is a love letter to artists and explores the lengths we will go to define our worth and success. It’s funny, fast, and theatrical-but underneath is the deep human fear of being invisible and the courage it takes to keep believing your voice matters. This award-winning 65-minute solo comedy explores the joys and terrors of being an artist.

The Exhibitionist will feature scenic and costume designs by Christopher Ford, lighting design by Kate McGee and sound design by Peter Mills Weiss. The Exhibitionist is produced by Occasional Drawl (Brian Letchworth & Christa Scott-Reed), in association with Whitley Theatrical.
