Free and open to the public

In collaboration with Dr. Christiana Molldrem Harkulich, Instructor of Theatre, Film Studies, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, the Tarble presents The Exhibit, written by Mackenzie Raine Kirkman. This seventy-five-minute play features a Curator, who has recently acquired a new piece of art, a Boss who tries to enforce the museum‘s rules, and New Art and Old Art, who are seemingly alive and striving to have meaning in a world that forces them to compete for limited space despite their similarities. Within the walls of the museum’s storage area; they discuss art, observation, and the imperialist nature of museums. As Old Art and New Art find deeper understanding with each other, the Curator has a realization that expands their mind beyond the confines of the very play that they are in.
