No Place to Go
DC Premiere
Aug 30-Oct 16 | Signature Theatre | Shirlington
Bobby Smith stars in this musical ode to the unemployed with an enterprising twist. A dedicated corporate “information refiner” has learned that his company is moving to a cheaper, but very (very) remote, location and taking the jobs with it. Backed by a jazz band, this permanent part-timer must decide whether to go and uproot his family’s life or embark on an unknown venture.
Sardonic wit merges with clever jazz, blues and bluegrass music for an irreverent capitalist critique of the personal cost of doing business. “Immensely appealing… music, jokes and personal narrative [are] tightly knitted together into one consistent human package.” ― The New York Times More

Whether it was the bold and non-naturalist colors of Fauvism to the unmixed primary colors of the Impressionists to depict reflected light, these movements used color in new and courageous ways defying the accepted concepts of what constituted art. Artists were asked to submit work which depict their individual courageous use of color. More
