Fat Squirrel is thrilled to announce its next production: Exhausted Paint: The Death of Van Gogh, directed by Carly Stroud and starring Drew Stroud in a mesmerizing one-man performance of this immersive theatrical journey penned by local playwright Justin Maxwell.
 
Grounded in the poignant personal writings of Vincent van Gogh, Exhausted Paint weaves together a sequence of monologues drawn from the artist’s letters, offering audiences intimate access to his mind and spirit through a dynamic, shifting narrative. As a solo performance, Drew Stroud brings unparalleled vitality and emotional depth to Van Gogh’s words, rendering each monologue with authenticity and boldness. Each audience will follow Stroud on a different journey through Van Gogh's life each night -- the order of the monologues for each performance is determined by the spin of a wheel.

"Exhausted Paint: The Death of Van Gogh dives deep into the turbulent thoughts and feelings of a man who set fire to established ideas of art – destroying himself in the process. Tender, vehement, funny and heart-breaking." -- --Stephi Wild, broadwayworld.com
