Ellis County Has
An Arts Grant...
Who is The Most Deserving?
Did you ever wish you could
pullback the curtain and get a
glimpse behind the scenes of
an arts committee debating who
should receive grant money? It’s
a process that befuddles many,
including artists and those who
often decry the winning works as
controversial or not something
they believe was art. In Catherine Trieschmann’s play, The Most
Deserving, we get to see the Ellis County Arts Council of Kansas
debate how to award $20,000 to
a local artist with an “under-represented American voice.”
The Most Deserving is having its
New Jersey premiere at Dreamcatcher Repertory this February.
The production stars Julie Chen,
Andre DeSandies, Noreen Farley, Scott McGowan, Janet Sales,
and Jason Szamreta. The play
caught the eye of Laura Ekstrand,
Dreamcatcher’s Producing Artistic Director, when she learned of
its debut at the Colorado New
Play Summit in Denver.
