Bakersfield Mist by Stephen Sachs
Maude, a fifty-something unemployed bartender living in a trailer park, has bought a painting for a few bucks from a thrift store. Despite almost trashing it, she's now convinced it's a lost masterpiece by Jackson Pollock worth millions. But when world-class art expert Lionel Percy flies over from New York and arrives at her trailer home in Bakersfield to authenticate the painting, he has no idea what he is about to discover. Inspired by true events, this hilarious and thought-provoking comedy-drama asks vital questions about what makes art and people truly authentic.

WHITE by James Ijames
Gus is an artist. Vanessa is an actress. Gus wants to be presented in a major exhibition for artists of color, so he hires Vanessa to perform as Balkonaé Townsend, a brash and political artist that will fit the museum’s desire for “new voices.” Everything is great, until Balkonaé takes over and Gus has to deal with the mess he’s made. This plays spins out of control as it explores issues of race, gender, sexuality, and art.

ART by Yasmina Reza
How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? One has just bought a very expensive painting. It’s about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. Lines are drawn and friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over various failures. As their arguments become less theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their relationships. This is where the friendship is finally tested, and the aftermath of action, and its reaction, affirms the power of those bonds.

Cindy Lou Who (not the sweet child from How the Grinch Stole Christmas!) is now grown, weathered, and living in a rundown trailer atop Mount Crumpit. As she hosts an R-rated Christmas Eve party for friends, she reminisces about the night she first met the Grinch and the tumultuous, twisted course her life has taken over the following couple of decades: from brushes with the law, a marriage to the Grinch, raising a daughter, to finding kindness in unexpected places.
"It’s a fun one; like Dr. Seuss if he’d had a martini and a midlife crisis".
