Santa Fe Sunshine

His long-time friend, an equally bumbling painter named Claude Nordley, refuses to look at Bruno's sculpture, and professes to hate everybody and everything-except himself, and the cheap local wine known as "Santa Fe Sunshine"

In fact no one gets a peek at Bruno's creation until it is unveiled at a disastrous party arranged by a scheming gallery owner and attended by a rich hillbilly art patron and an assort- ment of resident oddballs

Including a homosexual poet; a wood carver skilled at faking local artifacts; a college-girl folk singer; and her over-intense boyfriend, a would-be writer

As the wine flows, and personalities clash, the play reaches its very funny climax-in which all present learn something about life, themselves and the vagrant nature of the muses they would serve

This warm-hearted comedy, set in an artists colony in New Mexico, offers a close and very funny examination of the local art scene, and the colorful characters who people it " Jones has written a perceptive and very successful comedy light, heady and satisfying" - Dallas Morning News
