The Rochester-based Theatre/Theater Company will perform the Tony Award-winning dramatic comedy "Art" this weekend at MuCCC. A mixture of humor and existential crises, "Art" follows a successful dermatologist, a self-proclaimed mentor, and a neurotic groom-to-be in a struggle for power and reconciliation within their long-term friendship. Conflict begins when the dermatologist takes to the frequent purchase of fine art pieces, much to the disapproval of his "mentor." Their third friend makes an attempt to defuse the situation, but things quickly escalate to an all-out-war as they attempt to prove who is right, who is wrong, and who knows best.

"Art" will be performed at MuCCC (142 Atlantic Avenue) Wednesday, July 13, through Friday, July 15, at 8 p.m., and Saturday, July 16, at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $9 for students and seniors, and $12 general; $12 for students and seniors, and $15 general at the door. As part of Rochester's Pride Week, the July 13 performance will be "pay what you can" with proceeds benefiting Rochester Pride and participating LGBTQ organizations. muccc.org.x
