Distilled from O’Keeffe’s
writing and conversations, the play depicts the artist in
her late 50s, reflecting on life from her student days
to meeting and marrying photographer Alfred Stieglitz to
her seminal years in New Mexico. Previous productions of
Georgia have been performed at The Tampa Museum of Art,
where the project originated, The Museum of Fine Arts (St.
Petersburg), The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), and the
Edinburgh and Hong Kong Fringe Festivals.
Directed by Anna Brennen,
founder and producing Director of Stageworks Theater Company.
She has produced and/or directed more than 100 hundred mainstage
and touring productions since the theater’s inception
in 1984.

works include Native American, Tales of the Lost Formicans,
and Casanova. She has won a 1987 National Endowment of the
Arts Playwriting Fellowship, a 1998 Rockefeller Playwriting
Award, and a 1991 Guggenheim Award.

Soon after African-African businessman Sterling
North becomes the new director of the Morris Foundation,
he discovers that this world-famous art collection includes
several significant African sculptures tucked away in storage.
His proposal to add them to the public galleries is opposed
by the foundation’s long-term education director, who
is loyal to the idiosyncratic wishes of the late Dr. Morris.
Spurred on by a zealous local journalist, this clash quickly
escalates to the public accusations of racism and a bitter
struggle for control of the collection. Permanent Collection
is a searing examination of racial politics that ultimately
ask how much space – literally and figuratively – the
white world gives to African-Americans. What is the cost
of failing to view the world through another’s eyes?
Director Julia Flood has
28 years of experience in the professional theater as director,
actor, playwright, teacher and producer. Julia has served
as Artistic Director of Eckerd Theater Company (etc), professional
touring theater for young audience based at Ruth Eckerd
Hall in Clearwater since 1998.
