Massachusetts-based actor Stephen Collins will perform Butterfly by Carl A. Rossi, a one-man show about James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). The play presents Whistler at two phases of his life: as a bankrupt artist in his 40s on commission in Venice and as an established, yet lonely, legend in his 60s. The end of the play gives clear insight into how the iconic painting of Whistler's mother came about. Collins is a classically-trained actor who has performed in unforgettable productions as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Shakespeare.
