Walls and Windows (2024)

Walls and Windows is a musical theater exploration of the lives and art of Edward and Jo Hopper.  Edward Hopper is the enigmatic artist who painted "Nighthawks," which has been referenced in TV shows, movies and has become a cultural meme of urban isolation.



What is it about Hopper's work that continues to provoke a response in us nearly a century later?  How was Jo's art affected by her marriage and partnership with Ed for the next 40-odd years?  Jo's beloved cat, Arthur; Ralph Waldo Emerson, artist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and two gangsters from a story by Ernest Hemingway join Ed and Jo to explore these questions.  The 2024 presentation at Brooklyn Art Haus included Punch and Judy puppetry and large-screen projections of the Hoppers' paintings.
