The Pitmen Painters - DPS Acting Edition

The Pitmen Painters is based on the triumphant true story of a group of British miners who discover a new way to express themselves and unexpectedly become art-world sensations

An arresting and witty salute to the power of individual expression and the collective spirit, The Pitmen Painters takes you on an unforgettable journey from the depths of the coal mine to the heights of fame

" ... a feel-good—make that a feel-great—hit ... inspirational ... heartbreakingly funny ... the art discussions between the technically naive painters and their tutor are so intellectually engaging and such rollicking good fun. Who should make art? What makes art? What does art make of its maker? Who owns art? And how much should art cost, anyway? The conversation that comes out when these guys sit down and try to figure it all out is an art in itself" ~ Variety

" ... heartfelt, moving and deeply politicized ... endlessly fascinating to anyone with an interest in the role of the arts in education, or the intersection between folk art and establishment art ... created with love" ~ Chicago Tribune
