Bread and Butter Theatre is thrilled to present John Logan’s Tony Award-winning play Red at the Phoenix Theatre in San Francisco, March 22-31st 2018.
THE PLAY: Master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the 
history of modern art, a series of murals for New York’s famed Four Seasons Restaurant. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken, in his studio on the Bowery. But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. Raw and provocative, RED is a searing portrait of an artist’s ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting.
Red was nominated seven Tony Awards, winning the 2010 Tony for Best Play.
Bruce Avery (Rothko) is a Bay Area actor, director, and Theatre Arts professor at San Francisco State University. His PhD is from UC Santa Cruz, where he also worked as Dramaturge for Shakespeare Santa Cruz.

Nick Moore (Ken) has recently appeared in Cow Pie Bingo (Alter Theater), The Normal Heart (Theatre Rhinoceros), The Rainmaker (Sonoma Arts Live), The Miser (Curtain Theatre), Everything That’s Beautiful (New Conservatory Theater Center), and Othello and Twelfth Night at Marin Shakespeare Company.
