As Johanna sorts through the paintings in her attic\, she uncovers the stories of the little-known women Vincent painted\, which leads her to learn what kind of mother and businesswoman she wishes to be. A story about love\, legacy\, and reinvention. \n\n\n\nJoin the Center for New Work for this rescheduled staged reading from our fall Momentum Festival with City Theatre Company!
