An all-Black production of Chekhov's final play about a crumbling aristocratic family forced to face reality when it can no longer hold on to its delusions. Set in Russia in 1900, this production explores a classical text with a fresh take by an excellent African-American cast.

Featuring Donnis Collins, Thaddaeus Edwards, Leigh Holmes, Byron Jennings II, Joan J., Chaunesti Lyon, Jackie Marriott, Holmes Morrison, Lamont Reed, Geraud Staton, TeKay, Timothy Wingate, and LaMark Wright.

Directed by Jay O'Berski and designed by David Fellerath.
