The Westport Center for the Arts and Scott Myers Productions are collaborating on a new production of Stealing Kandinsky: A Case from the Stolen Art Files. The play was written by Scott W. Myers and will be directed by Jacqueline Gafford. All performances are being held at the  Just Off Broadway Theatre and some performances include a 10-minute audience talkback.

This full-length, two-act play centers around Vassily Kandinsky, known as the “founder” of modern abstract art. Kandinsky and the Blue Rider arts movement of which he was a leader, were considered “degenerate artists” by the Nazis, and their art was suppressed and stolen. Decades later, in this contemporary play, a modern art museum curator, Richard Wolfson, his CEO boss Lucy Swan, and upstart colleague Jerome Jupiter, are forever changed by a case of modern art theft that is haunted by past crimes against art. Jealousy, forgiveness, intrigue, betrayal and internal psychological conflicts give birth to tragic and redemptive consequences.
