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.
