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! Launched in 2003\, the Momentum Festival: New Plays at Different Stages is at the heart of City Theatre’s mission to lead the new play development conversation on both a national and local level. It celebrates some of the most exciting playwrights in the country through a weekend of workshops\, readings\, and artist panels. This year\, in collaboration with the CMU Center for New Work\, the festival returned in 2025 to share four new works from both the City Theatre and CMU artistic communities. \n\n\n\nCAST & TEAMOlivia Ruhnke | Johanna van Gogh-BongerVon Nishan Markarian | Theo van GoghRusty Daniel | EnsembleLogan Yao | EnsembleJakai-Nyasia Norfleet | EnsembleAce Lillard | EnsembleValeria Peterson | Stage DirectionsCourtney Vanauken | DramaturgElla McCullough | Stage ManagerAurelia Clunie | DirectorKate Isabel Foley | Playwright \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kate Isabel Foley is a bisexual playwright\, screenwriter\, and novelist.
