WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Second Stage Theatre is proud to present Cellini, written and directed by John Patrick Shanley. The playwright brings his firebrand sense of humor and romance to the life of fiery, Florentine sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, a true Renaissance man with a larger-than-life passion for art and women. From the court of the Medicis to the Holy City, this wickedly funny, erotic, and inspirational adventure reveals the soul of a genius in his quest for immortality.
Please note: the show includes brief nudity and adult language.
