Discover the fascinating 40 year relationship between Gertrude Stein and her partner Alice B. Toklas and capture the feel of Paris when Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Ernest Hemingway were among their friends and spent time in Stein’s salon.
A rose is a rose is a rose…
We all have heard that phrase, but do you know who created it? Gertrude Stein!
That’s right…Gertrude Stein, American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Pittsburgh and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. Her companion and partner of four decades was Alice B. Toklas.
A Classic Theatre’s production of “Gertrude Stein and A Companion” by Win Wells and directed by Jean Rahner will be performed appropriately among the art work at the St. Augustine Art Association, 22 Marine St., downtown St. Augustine.
Portraying these very bold, avant-garde women are two of St. Augustine’s most talented actresses, Jan LoPresti-Beach as Gertrude and Margaret Kaler as Alice B. Toklas.
