"Portraiture" at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, Dennis
April 24 - May 4, 2025 (7 performances)
Helltown Players is proud to present the world premiere of Portraiture, at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis. Portraiture is a sharp, witty, and thought-provoking new play written and directed by Margaret Van Sant.
Set in the Rare Reading Room of Yale’s Beinecke Library, Portraiture follows an art historian leading a tour when she arrives at a gallery showcasing portraits of three legendary women—Gertrude Stein (painted by Francis Picabia), Alice B. Toklas (painted by Dora Maar), and Mabel Dodge Luhan (painted by Mary Foote.) As she examines their lives and legacies, unexpected questions arise, and history proves to be anything but silent. As the play’s tagline reads: “Three legendary women shaped history. Now they demand a rewrite.”
