# Now Showing: Sunday in the Park with George at Tomlinson Theater

Tonight, Temple Theater celebrates its opening night of Stephen Sondheim's *Sunday in the Park with George,* which runs through February 28 at the Tomlinson Theater located at 13th and Norris Streets. The musical draws inspiration from French painter George Seurat's *A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.* [![](https://smcsites.com/update/files/2019/02/george-182x300.jpg)](https://smcsites.com/update/files/2019/02/george.jpg) The plot revolves around two storylines, a fictionalized version of Seurat also named George and the life of his great-grandson. Both men struggle as artists with finding their voice and searching for authenticity in a world that doesn't understand them. The musical debuted originally in 1984 and has since seen two Broadway revivals, the most recent in 2017. Temple's production of the musical includes a 7:30 showing each night, as well as a matinee show at 2:00 on Saturday, February 23 and Sunday, February 24. Tickets for the event run $10 for students, $20 for seniors, and Temple employees, and $25 for general admission; they can be purchased online or at the [Tomlinson Theater](https://tfma.temple.edu/theater/productions) lobby, open Monday through Friday noon to 6 pm.
