About This Production

Fifty-something and in between jobs, Maude spends her last few dollars on a thrift store painting which she’s convinced is a Jackson Pollock worth millions. When renowned art expert Lionel Percy arrives at her trailer park home in Bakersfield to authenticate the painting, cultures and class attitudes collide. Stephen Sachs’ colorful new comic drama asks what makes art—and the people who create it—truly authentic.

Critic and Audience Reviews

In addition to the superb performances by Brady and Hering, you’ll love the great set design of Maude’s home. Keep scanning the house, and you’ll repeatedly spot something that makes you laugh.
