Please note: This program is intended for adult audiences, as it delves into the life and unfortunate death of Vincent Van Gogh.

We are in a café in Auvers, France, surrounded by some of Vincent Van Gogh’s most iconic works of art. The year is 1890.

The Postman Joseph Roulin of Arles has just arrived. For several seconds he poses, silent, still, the embodiment of van Gogh’s 1888 portrait of him— one of more than 20 portraits of the Roulin family created by the artist. Then, the portrait comes to life!

Join us for author, educator, and Screen Actors Guild actor Ted Zalewski, in his portrayal of Vincent’s loyal friend the Postman, Joseph Roulin. He relates Vincent Van Gogh’s amazing personal and artistic journey from his native Holland to the south of France. Drawn from extensive research into Van Gogh’s art, life and letters, "Vincent: A Portrait by the Postman Roulin" is filled with humor, passion, joie de vivre—and the triumph of an unlikely friendship.
