The theatrical event of the season — an amazing one-man show about Vincent Van Gogh — is fast approaching.

The theatrical event of the season — an amazing one-man show about Vincent Van Gogh — is fast approaching.

The first time Doug Brendel did this show, the entire run sold out.

The last show he was in, the entire run sold out.

PEOPLE ARE STILL CRYING because THEY WAITED TOO LONG to try to get tickets.

Go to Outsidah.com RIGHT NOW and get your tickets for this incredible theatre experience.

You’ll meet the crazy genius Van Gogh, who started out as a preacher — fell in love with a hooker — cut off his own ear — and ended up shooting himself.

You’ll see one actor play Van Gogh, Van Gogh’s brother, father, girlfriend, uncle, doctor, and more.

And along the way, on a huge screen behind the action, you’ll see Van Gogh’s phenomenal masterpieces — whatever he was painting at that point in the story.

People are KNOCKED OUT by this fantastic play (written and originally performed by Leonard Nimoy, of “Spock” fame).

Vincent, a funny, heartbreaking, fast-paced two-act play performed by just one actor, opens July 13. It runs Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 4 p.m.

Questions? Contact director Kristina Brendel via KristinaBrendel9@gmail.com or 978 238 8848.

Where: Community House, 284 Bay Rd., Hamilton, MA.

Tickets are only $15 but THEY WILL GO. Get them online at Outsidah.com. Do not delay!
