Cost $60 each

Location DR2 Theatre, 103 E 15th St, New York, NY

The show is sold out

Patrick Bringley’s All the Beauty in the World is a portrait of one man’s life through a time of transition. While looking for somewhere to contemplate his life and heal from his brother’s death, Patrick quits his high-profile journalism career at The New Yorker and seeks refuge in the most beautiful place he can think of: The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through his job as a Museum Guard, Patrick starts his life anew, all while falling under the spell of the place and the people he meets there. As his connection to the art around him grows, so does Patrick, until he gradually emerges … transformed by all the beauty.

There will be an audience Q&A afterwards with Patrick Bringley.
