Sunday in the Park with George

Prairie Lakes Theatre
515 E. Thacker Des Plaines

The 1984 Sondheim-James Lapine musical play uses inspiration from Georges Seurat's famous pointillist painting "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" to explore art, emotional connection, and community. In 1884 Paris, artist Georges-Pierre Seurat is immersed in single-minded concentration while painting his masterpiece. The people in his life provide inspiration for the characters in the painting, springing to life on the canvas and melding life and art. 100 years later, his great-grandson George, also an artist, struggles in the world of modern art.
