Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

August 11, 2016 - August 28, 2016
$15 - $40

Vanya and his adopted sister, Sonia, are living out their middle age in an old farmhouse in Bucks County, PA, after years of caring for their ailing, Chekhov-loving parents. But their quietly tedious existence changes dramatically once their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her twenty-something boy toy, Spike, for a weekend of wild costume parties, voodoo dolls and family feuds. In its own deliciously madcap way, Durang's Tony Award-winning play not only offers endlessly inventive comic twists, but some keen insights into the absurdities, challenges and agonies of twenty-first-century life as well. Written by Christopher Durang Directed by Marcella Kearns Featuring: Carrie Hitchcock, JJ Phillips, Rana Roman, Elodie Senetra, Jenny Wanasek and C.
