Purple Art
[06/02/2025]
New play by Amanda Horowitz “Bad Stars”, just launched in NYC at Collapsable Hole featuring one of our Purple editors Bobbi Salvör Menuez
Using Sam Shepard’s “True West” as a starting point to explore obsessive friendship, disintegration, and performance itself, the show blends vaudeville, schlock, and naturalism. The story centers around two brothers writing a Hollywood movie about worms struggling to split apart, with a plein air painter rendering each scene live.
