"The Servant of Two Masters" is a laugh-a-minute screwball comedy. Based on the original commedia dell'arte play, AJ Knox and Samantha Ginn have adapted the production for new audiences, inspired by comedy classics like "Airplane!", "The Marx Brothers" and "Monty Python." When the trickster Truffaldino signs on to serve two masters in the hope of double wages and double dinners, chaos and hilarity ensue. Translated by AJ Knox Adapted by Samantha Ginn and AJ Knox Based on the play by Carlo Goldoni Directed by Geno Carr Visit: https://gcccd.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?SeriesID=45

Join Madison Gallery for the opening reception of "LOVE LETTER | CARTA DE AMOR," a new solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed artist RETNA, on Saturday, September 20, 2025. The artist will be in attendance.

In "CARTA DE AMOR," the artist explores the many forms of love and the redemptive power of connection. The exhibition will feature new large-scale canvases, mixed-media works, and site-specific installations that reflect RETNA's more authentic shift in artistic intention and tone.
