An Evening of Chekhov

One Night Only!

Join us for the contrasting sides of Chekhov — tragic and comic. We’ll begin with a scene from Chekhov’s play, Three Sisters, and follow that up with a performance of Chekhov’s rarely produced one-act play, The Bear.

A break between the performances will provide a brief intermission.

About The Works

The most recent major production of Three Sisters in New York City was in 2011, by the Classic Stage Company. It was directed by Austin Pendleton and featured Maggie Gyllenhaal as Masha and Peter Sarsgaard as her lover Vershinin.

Last performed in Chicago in 1999, the comedic one-act, The Bear, was described by Chekhov himself as a, “vaudeville in the French style.”
