RCU Theatre: The Yellow Boat

RCU Theatre & Music presents The Yellow Boat by David Saar

The Yellow Boat is based on the true story of David and Sonja Saar’s son, Benjamin, who was born with congenital hemophilia and died in 1987 at the age of 8 of AIDS-related complications. A uniquely gifted visual artist, Benjamin’s buoyant imagination transformed his physical and emotional pain into a blaze of colors and shapes in his fanciful drawings and paintings. Though it touches on and sensitively explores the serious issues of death and dying, this is a play about living. It is about the power of imagination and art to transform our lives and make them full of color and hope.
