CSP_Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike logoVANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE
CenterStage Players
March 15-24
Lockland High School

Directed by Richard Zenk
Produced by Fred Hunt

Cast: Elizabeth Hickerson as Cassandra, Peggy Allen as Masha, Adrianna Boris as Nina, Rick Hunt as Spike, Bec Cole as Sonia & John McInerney as Vanya

Chekhov is alive and well in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where adult siblings Vanya and Sonia reside in their old family home, mourning their lost dreams and missed opportunities. When their often-wrong, fortune-telling maid warns of impending dangers, and their movie star sister, Masha, arrives unexpectedly with young, sexy, boy toy, Spike, the family is launched into a rollicking weekend of one-upmanship, exposed nerves, and a lot of broken mugs. With wit and absurdity, Christopher Durang’s Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike blends Chekhov’s famous ennui with the modern-day toils and troubles of celebrity, social networking, and age into a laugh-out-loud comedy that will tickle your funny bone and stimulate your mind.

HOT L BALTIMORE by Lanford Wilson
10 Men   7 Women

Set in the lobby of a rundown hotel so seedy that is has lost the “e” from its marquee. The play focuses on the decaying, condemned hotel and the upcoming eviction of its residents. Ranging in age from young to old, from defiant to the resigned, these soon-to-be homeless inhabitants meet, talk and interact with each other during the course of one day. This drama/comedy is of the passing events in their lives, of everyday encounters and of the human condition, with conversations often overlapping. The resulting mosaic of each character emerges clearly and is perceptively defined, and the sum total of what they are–or wish they were–becomes a poignant, powerful call to America to recover lost values and to restore itself in its own and the world’s eyes.

Characters:

  • Mr. Katz…hotel manager…40’s/50’s
  • Mrs. Oxenham…day desk clerk…mid 40’s
  • Bill Lewis…night clerk…early 30’s
  • Paul Granger…student…early 20’s
  • Mrs. Bellotti…mother of former tenant…mid 50’s
  • Mr. Morse…craggy…early 70’s
  • Millie…retired waitress… 50’s/60’s
  • The Girl…a call girl…19
  • April Green…a prostitute… 30’s
  • Suzy…a prostitute…30’s
  • Jackie…tough-sounding /street wise…mid 20’s
  • Jamie…Jackie’s small, “slow” brother…late teens
  • Cab Driver/Suzy’s John/Delivery guy…20’s/30’s
