Cast Announced for VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE ​​at CenterStage Players

CSPOH_logoCenterStage Players is please to announce the cast for their March production VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE ​​by Christopher Durang.

Featuring:

  • Cassandra: Elizabeth Hickerson
  • Masha: Peggy Allen
  • Nina: Adrianne Maria Boris
  • Spike: Rick Hunt
  • Sonia: Bec Cole
  • Vanya: John McInerney

Director: Richard Zenk
Producer: Fred Hunt

Production Dates: March 15 – 24, 2019

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.

We are looking for creative and talented directors, both experienced and new, who aren’t afraid to take a risk. We are open to comedy, drama, farce and musical submissions and are particularly interested in rarely performed shows, original works and “edgy” scripts.

  • What about the show appeals to you as a director?
  • If your show is selected, are there any timing restrictions that would help us in building our season schedule?
