Red Tickets

It is difficult to even recall the plot. I am glad there was not a intermission. The acting was good.

As a theatre professional from New York, but new to Az., I was thrilled to discover that Tucson's Arizona Theatre Company could bring in a show of this quality! The entire production- from the sets to lighting and sound to the actors' performance - was absolutely stunning! "Red" is thought- provoking, profoundly moving, gently humorous, and thoroughly engaging.

Outstanding production with first rate acting and amazing effects!

This was our first time to this venue and we really enjoyed it!!! I thought the play was very good and the actors did a great job. It was directed very well too! I only wish there had been an intermission, since it was hard to sit there for 90 minutes, especially after just having been out for dinner. I highly recommend the play and the venue!

A forgettable play. Too much talking... Too esoteric for me...

After reading about the awards won by the play Red, and being an artist myself, I thought I should attend. It was not that good. There were some interesting ideas put forth in the dialogue, but nothing new. If you want to see a play about a self important older man lecturing a younger man who eventually gets mad at the older man, then this play is for you. The actors did their best, and they were fine. The play itself talked about emotion, but did not really show anything about who the characters were in ways other than dialogue. And there are situations or tableaux that can cause emotion without dialogue. The play is too didactic, and the situation too static.

If you are only interested in live and vivacious conversations,this play is for you. But after a few minutes, you realize that the conversations are only superficial. The actor playing Rotko tried his best to revive this boring torrent of words.

Enjoyed the show. Thought the 2 actors did a great job. How to know all those lines!

"Red" was a terrific night at the theater. A tour de force by the two actors, who are on stage for 90 minutes without pause. Really fun for art lovers and a poignant look inside the life of Mark Rothko, the Russian emigre whose work is now sold for many millions.

Amazing! Insightful, philosophical, deep, engaging, thoughtful, and passionate. Great acting, intriguing scene design. Loved it :)

Takes time to develop the characters but once it does it is really entertaining. Thank goodness we don't have to suffer for Rothko's art. He chose to suffer enough.

RED was IncREDible!!! Amazing performance......inspiring!

Particularly if you are an art fan, you will enjoy this play. Lots of art references, and great for art teachers. Entertaining and a good story.

Loved the dialogue. The use of lighting between vignettes was wonderful. I felt time passing. It reminded me of Citizen Kane.

Very well written and well staged. It helped to know Rothko's work and to be familiar with the other artists that were mentioned in the dialogue. Without that knowledge , the play would have been less engrossing. My wife and I both really enjoyed it. The Wells Theatre is a great venue.

Red was a well acted performance. It was an insight look at Mark Rothko's life as an artist. The venue is cozy and personal. This show will appeal to an intellectual arts crowd. I don't think this would appeal to a mass audience, with limited set changes and number of actors it can become dull. This show will appeal to the true arts fans or an older generation. I am glad I saw the play but would not go for the show a second time.

'Red' was a great show. The actors were excellent. The theater is small, intimate and full of history. I will definitely attend shows there in the future.

Was just ok for me (storyline). The antagonist goes on many rants, which were well acted, but then predictable. Too "artsy fartsy" for me.

Great venue for any concert. To have a place where you can sit in between sets and a place for your garb and beverages made it very comfortable, without sacrificing atmosphere. All four bands were great and it was right up there with the other concerts. Thank you for hosting this concert and God bless.

play was a bore. The acting was mediocre and the plot was 1 dimensional. The only thing I got from this play was a little insight into the life of Mark Rothco.
