Created with celebrated local playwright Dominic Orlando and inspired by OLA Co‐Director Paul Herwig’s own challenges with vision loss, this is the story of a visual artist who goes blind – a darkly comic production with big choreographed dance numbers, a 20ft retina. The show skewers the money driven excesses of both the contemporary art world and the medical insurance industry with plenty of humor in a universal story of loss, dignity, and hope.
