APRIL 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
The Christophers OPENS APR 16 • UPTOWN The great Ian Mckellen and Michaela Coel ("I May Destroy You") make a brilliant pairing in Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh's incisively witty chamber comedy about art, commerce, and avarice. Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960s and '70s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger (Michaela Coel), to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access 8 unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage. Her plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be “discovered” upon Julian’s death.
