Queensbridge Theatre Co. presents ART, the internationally acclaimed comedy by French playwright Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton. Opening November 13, 2026, at Queensbridge Theatre in Long Island City, this production brings Reza's witty and incisive exploration of friendship, taste, and human connection to an intimate New York performance space. In ART, a seemingly simple white painting sparks an unexpectedly explosive debate between three longtime friends. When Serge purchases an expensive contemporary painting, his friend Marc is less than impressed. Yvan, caught somewhere between the two, finds himself pulled into an increasingly absurd and revealing argument. What begins as a disagreement over modern art soon becomes something much more personal.

Your family wants an AI to settle an old argument. Would you hand over the group chat?

A recurring family dispute has reached the point where nobody agrees on what was actually said. Your cousin proposes uploading five years of the family group chat to an AI that can reconstruct events, flag contradictions, and recommend a fair resolution. Nearly everyone agrees—but one relative refuses.

Can a tool make a family argument fair without turning intimacy into evidence?
