Revlon Girl

by Neil anthony docking

The Artist Experiment was so thrilled to be presenting the New York premiere of Neil Anthony Docking's "The Revlon Girl" this June. When we first read this play it spoke to us because it told a story of how people care for another in times of crisis and adversity. Of course, due to the current situation not only in New York but around the globe, we have to postpone the production until further notice, but that message of coming together is just as important and resonates even louder today. Please stay tuned here or on our social media for new dates and thank you for your continued support. We cannot wait to share this story with you and in the meantime please stay safe, stay at home, and look out for another.  #TheRevlonGirl
