  Thomas Chatterton

  Art comes in many shapes and sizes and many different forms.  And one person’s art is often someone else’s object of derision. 
   
  But what we can all agree on is that Art exists, that it’s something perhaps unique to humankind but very definitely evokes a deep reaction whether of ‘wow!’ or ‘what?’   
   
  In this volume we take Art as our subject and have it reviewed and explored by other Artists, by Classic Poets. 
   
  True Art ignites an individual response or a collective awareness.  Our DNA seems to cultivate that.  When we engage with Art the results are at times as surprising as they are interesting. 
   
  In the words of Keats, Shakespeare, Wharton, Chatterton and very many others Art is seen and understood both as that individual reaction and a collective experience.  Art is where it’s at.

  The original script of the award-winning off-Broadway play—“irresistibly entertaining [and] surprisingly moving” (Paul Rudnick).   Alex More has a story to tell. A struggling actor in LA, he takes a job working in the Malibu basement of a beloved megastar. One day, the Lady Herself comes downstairs to play. It feels like real bonding in the basement—but will their relationship ever make it upstairs?   A winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show, Buyer & Cellar is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs.   “Jonathan Tolins has concocted an irresistible one-man play from the most peculiar of fictitious premises . . . This seriously funny slice of absurdist whimsy creates the illusion of a stage filled with multiple people, all of them with their own droll point of view.” —The New York Times   “A gorgeous play: funny and beautifully observed and richly insightful.” —Moisés Kaufman   “Tolins’s writing is smart, sharp, and hilarious—and he paints a vivid picture that even a perfectionist like Barbra would have to applaud.” —James Lapine
