Control Group Productions,The Peoples Building,Cipriano Ortega

Control Group Productions is producing Cipriano Ortega's first full-length play, which explores the lives of artists of color.

In the bustling art world, there lies an often unspoken but intense battle between personal fulfillment and the obligations we hold dear., depicts this struggle in an intimate drama set in a cramped apartment, following the journey of an aspiring painter and her relationships.

"It's been challenging not to get soapbox-y," Ortega says."I don't have the solutions, but this is my way of voicing my frustrations. The underlying villain in the show is capitalistic oppression. As artists, we are very much suppressed within the confines of what is going to sell, but I think a good piece of art puts you in a situational crisis and leaves you unresolved; a lot of life is like that.", about artist Mark Rothko; and Jack White of the White Stripes.
