The U.S. Premiere of FRUITS UNHEARD OF Of by Caitlin Murphy, is creatively staged in an art gallery curated with works from a variety of New York based artists. This award-winning biographical play about American photographer Diane Arbus offers a non-linear, impressionistic approach to Arbus as a dramatic subject and features only two actors: one as Diane, and one as every other personality in her life including family members, teachers, contemporaries, and her photographic subjects themselves. A selection of photographs inspired by the play and using the cast of FRUITS UNHEARD OF as subjects is displayed within the gallery to create the set of the play.

FRUITS UNHEARD OF runs Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 3:00pm, Previews begin August 9, 10, 11. Opening Night August 14th with shows on 15, 16, 17, 18, *19 (*Monday Benefit Performance at 7:00pm), 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30. The art gallery will be open to audiences one hour prior to show-time with music spun by local DJ's and complimentary beverages included in the $20 ticket price.
