The play about the abstract-expressionist painter Rothko at a turning point won the 2010 Tony Award as Best Play. It's now one of the most-produced plays in regional theatre. Opening night is March 7. Performances continue to March 25.

Alley bills the play as "a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting."

Playwright Logan was Academy Award-nominated for his screenplay of "Hugo." Read Playbill.com's recent interview with the writer.

Wentworth has also written the book for two musicals: Gunmetal Blues and Enter the Guardsman, with music and lyrics by Craig Bohmler and Marion Adler. His adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask will be produced at Shakespeare Santa Cruz this summer.
