A Collectible Sensation Presentation
Event Navigation
At the unveiling of the million-dollar renovation of their renowned Cone Collection at the Baltimore Museum of Modern Art, long dead sisters Etta and Claribel Cone suddenly materialize. Family friend Gertrude Stein and her dead paramour Alice Toklas also pop up, uninvited much to Etta’s dismay. Their mission is to figure out why the friendship between Etta and Gertrude fell apart.
The musical is non-linear, moving between present time in the Cone Wing and memories of the women’s younger selves and artwork that comes alive to move the story forward.
The presentation invites the audience to attend a week-long developmental workshop of a new musical. It is a work in progress, not a full production. Duluth audiences will be witnessing the first public presentations of the full project.
