Bakersfield Mist September 29, 2011

Extended for a third time through December 18 — a lively comedy, inspired by true events. Maude Gutman, an unemployed, foul-mouthed, ex-bartender living in a rundown California trailer park, believes the painting she bought in a thrift store for $3 is really an undiscovered masterpiece worth millions. When stuffy New York art expert Lionel Percy arrives to evaluate the work, a fiery battle erupts over class, truth, value, and the meaning of art. Hailed as “Critic's Choice” in the Los Angeles Times, critics and audiences alike are raving about Stephen Sachs’ hit play: “A triumph!” (Back Stage); “Delightful” (LA Weekly); Spectacular” (Santa Monica Daily Press); and Ovation! Recommended. Read more reviews on their website. Thru Dec 18; Thurs, Fri, Sat at 8 pm and Sun at 2 pm; $30; The Fountain Theatre, 5060 Fountain Avenue (at Normandie), Los Angeles, CA 90029.
