Don’t miss “Bakersfield Mist,” performed live at The AGB Museum of Art! Inspired by true events, Bakersfield Mist is a hilarious and thought-provoking comedy-drama that pits small-town smarts against big-city credentials in a battle over art and authenticity.

Presented in partnership with Theatre Winter Haven, this two-person play focuses on Maude Gutman, a Bakersfield resident who purchases a painting she believes to be a genuine Po***ck, and Lionel Percy, an art expert who travels to Maude’s home to authenticate the work.

Following each performance, join the director and actors for an engaging post-show talkback.
