When a high-profile gala fundraiser goes hilariously awry, the long-suffering staff of a Toronto art gallery scramble to save what remains of their competing agendas.
It's 1998, and the newly re-branded Toronto Art Gallery (TAG) is abuzz with preparations for a pivotal fundraiser. Among the staff are Rachel, a burned-out educator whose prickly boss has her contemplating an early departure from the gallery. Then there's Arthur, a mild-mannered curator who grapples with the unpredictable demands of an attractive donor. Meanwhile, Amanda fends off incursions into her own curatorial turf by investigating questionable donor influence. Presiding over all is the director, George, whose ambitious expansion plans for the gallery tempt him into a sticky situation.
When a scheduling conflict sees TAG swarmed by a camp for rambunctious children, a tour for art-loving naturists, and a gala for deep-pocketed philanthropists-all on the same calamitous night-egos and ambitions collide. Each staff member must confront the turmoil, salvage their reputations, and chart a path forward.
In the Frame is a sharp workplace satire that reveals clashing sensibilities in a fictional Toronto gallery. The characters' struggles to frame their futures propel us through this quirky fast-paced story.
