 PERMANENT COLLECTION
by Thomas Gibbons
directed by Seth Rozin
A WORLD PREMIERE
In the tradition of bee-luther-hatchee, Black Russian and 6221, Permanent Collection continues Gibbons' exploration of racial politics in America. A work of fiction inspired by controversies surrounding the storied Barnes Foundation*, Permanent Collection brings to life the conflict between the newly appointed African American director and the museum's longtime Caucasian education director who holds strongly to the museum's exclusionary charter. Fueled by an overzealous newspaper reporter, the two men face off across the great racial divide, struggling over the amount of space -- literal and metaphorical -- made available to African Americans by the white-dominated culture. Cast includes InterAct veterans Frank X, Tim Moyer, Tom McCarthy and Maureen Torsney-Weir.
*Permanent Collection is not intended as an historical account either of actual events or of persons living or dead.
