Apr. 17-21: MMC Theatre Production Workshop Presents The Three Sisters
MMC Theatre Production Workshop presents The Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov, in a translation by Carol Rocamora. This was the first play that Chekhov wrote specifically for the Moscow Art Theatre in 1901, having experienced commercial success in his previous collaborations with The Seagull and Uncle Vanya. Like many of Chekhov's works, The Three Sisters is about the decay of the privileged class in Russia and the search for meaning in the modern world. Olga, Masha, and Irina are refined and cultured young women in their twenties who were raised in urban Moscow but have been living in a small, colorless provincial town for eleven years. With their father now deceased, their anticipated return to Moscow comes to represent their hopes for living a good life, while the ordinariness of day-to-day living tightens its hold. This production is performed by students in the Theatre Arts programs of the College with direction by David Lee, scenic design by Ray Recht, costume design by Martin Lopez, stage management by Colin Gallagher, Voice&Text Coaching by Chris Neher, and lighting design by Lucas Camp and John DeLaTorre.
Performances: April 17-20 at 8:00 pm, April 21 at 2:00 pm.
