Emerald Coast Theatre Company: Resurrecting van Gogh

Actor/playwright/comedian/professor Jason Hedden performs his original work “Resurrecting van Gogh” on Thursday, January 30 at Emerald Coast Theatre Company at 7:00pm. This play is based on the life, work and writings of Andy Martin, a medical student and oncology patient at Tulane University, who conducted groundbreaking research on sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC), an extremely rare form of cancer that eventually took his life. The majority of the performance text comes from Andy Martin’s private journals. The production includes a live performance, short documentary and a Q&A about the creation of the work. Tickets at https://www.emeraldcoasttheatre.org/.
