Red Door offers staged reading

Red Door - As part of the CRecycle Eco-Art Fest and part of their ongoing season of new plays Red Door Ensemble will be performing a free reading of James Trainor's Blood on the Canvas on April 17th at 3pm at the Matyk Building, 1029 3rd Street SE Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

This play concerns the fundamental question: what would you sacrifice for your art? Some characters try to connect with a recently deceased artist and the painting she lost her life to. Others resist connecting to her. This play also concerns such topics as responsibility of the family, drug use, and how to handle the greatest decisions of our lives.

The production will be one of two arts productions at the Matyk Building on April 17th involved with the Eco-Arts Festival. The festival is the first of its kind in the New Bohemia cultural district and is intended to promote the preservation of our communities and promote the reuse of man-made objects in the form of art.

Red Door Ensemble is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to the production of new plays in an ensemble environment throughout the Iowa Cultural Corridor.
