The World Premiere

Caravaggio

Written by Richard Vetere

Directed by Dale Heinen

Featuring:
Mike Simmer, Brenda Barrie, Don Blair, Julian Martinez, Levi Petree, Sean Sinitski and Ron Wells

 

Set in 17th century Rome, Malta, and Naples, Caravaggio is the story of the great Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the father of the Baroque, whose daring art and volatile personality attracted the favor and wrath of the church he both loved and reviled.

Whether undertaking commissions from the Vatican or confronting the cruelties of the Inquisition, Caravaggio's short life was charged with artistry, violence and passion.
