Guest Artist

THE STORY

About the show

Kenneth Waters, an eager young theatre apprentice, is sent to welcome Joseph Harris, a celebrated playwright and Kenneth’s personal hero. But the man who arrives is bitter, reluctant, and far removed from the inspirational figure Kenneth imagined.

Their encounter becomes a darkly humorous and sometimes combative conversation about creativity, compromise, ambition, and what it means to devote a life to making art. Guest Artist explores the collision between youthful idealism and hard-earned experience.
