Academy at WEST Performing Arts presents our 2009 Young Company Social ACTion Play
THE YELLOW BOAT
By David Saar
Directed by Luanne Nunes deChar
This stunning play tells the true story of the young and gifted visual artist Benjamin Saar, a hemophiliac learning to cope with AIDS, who creates inspired art to transform his pain and express his understanding of life. The Yellow Boat is a family’s journey through their son’s life: a story of inspiration. This is a story that teaches about art and healing. Written by David Saar, Benjamin’s father, this play has received the Distinguished Play Award, from the Kennedy Center New Visions/New Voices, and the ASSITEJ/USA Outstanding Play Award
