The Village Players
Directed by Nicole Tuttle-Robb
Moving Day is a heartfelt, comedic play that follows an artist navigating a chaotic turning point in her life. Specializing in paintings, oils, acrylics, watercolors, and occasional sculpting work, the protagonist is given the chance to showcase at a major gallery exhibition, unfortunately the opportunity falls on the exact day her moving trucks arrive. A disastrous mix-up sends her artwork to her new apartment and her furniture to the gallery, setting off a chain of quirky misunderstandings, physical mishaps, and heartfelt moments of identity and reinvention
The Village is thrilled to be partnering with students from Toledo School for the Arts, who will be designing and creating the prop artwork for our main character for this production.
