Following Houston’s 2nd Annual Mural Festival, The Landing Theatre Company opens their first full production of the 2016-17 season with Idris Goodwin and Kevin Coval’s This is Modern Art, originally commissioned by Steppenwolf Theatre and workshopped at The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.

Based on true events, the “Look Over Here” graffiti crew is willing to risk anything for their art. Called vandals, criminals, even creative terrorists, these Chicago graffiti artists set out night after night to make their voices heard and alter the way people view the world. But when the crew finishes the biggest graffiti bomb of their careers, the consequences get serious and spark a public debate asking, “Where does art belong?”
