An Artist's Nightmare depicts the story of a professional theatre
artist's return to his roots after a quarter century of a
successful career in the big city. With his family in tow and a big
dream to help rejuvenate a lackluster old automobile town, he
forgot one thing: small town mentality. From the moment he opens
his performing arts center in this provincial capital city, the
theatre artist is dumbstruck by the mean-spirited rejection he
receives at every turn. Local academic theatre persons ridicule his
resume of real world experience, local directors dismiss his offers
to collaborate, and the local media ignore his shows and exclude
his work from local theatre awards while hypocritically treating
his work with an odd discrimination that never gets explained.
Fortunately he's good. And he survives the slim odds to succeed by
finding students and families that believe in his work. An Artist's
Nightmare is a thirty minute play-let that explores broad questions
about the arts and community through the eyes of two local small
town women; it is designed to provoke thought and ask larger
universal questions regarding how the arts are played out in a
provincial setting especially when mixing with the real world
experience of an artist who has been to the heights of professional
international experience.
