The Guard
511 Tenth Street, N.W. Washington
When a museum guard decides to get "in touch with art" literally, a remarkable journey across the ages ensues in The Guard. In this new comedic drama, playwright Jessica Dickey (The Amish Project) paints shimmering portraits of Rembrandt, Homer and those who protect the art we cherish. Starting in a present-day art museum, The Guard spans centuries of human experience, exploring the power of creativity and the sacrifices we make in the pursuit of love and beauty. Sharon Ott directs the world premiere of this stirring reflection on the permanence of art and the impermanence of life at the historic Ford's Theatre.
