The Bay Players to Present VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE, 6/19-27
The Bay Players community theatre organization presents Christopher Durang's comic play Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, on June 19, 20, 26 and 27, 8 pm, at First Parish Church, 842 Tremont Street (Rte. 3A), Duxbury. The production is directed by Philip Markella.
"Everyone has a monologue that is nothing short of hilarious...You've only spent a weekend with these people, but you might want to spend the rest of your life with (them)." - Huffington Post. Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike's story revolves around the relationships of three middle-aged single siblings, two of whom live together, taking place during a visit by the third, Masha, who supports them. They discuss their lives and loves, argue, and Masha threatens to sell the house. Add in sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and lovely young aspiring actress Nina, and you have a theatrical recipe for entertainment. Several nods to the works of Anton Chekhov are evident, including character names, the cherry orchard setting, and the theme of the possible loss of an ancestral home.
The cast of local actors includes Jane Cartier as "Sonia", Alison Markella as "Cassandra", Chris Cartier as "Spike", Justin Selig as "Vanya", Sheila Kelleher as "Masha" and Sarah Alfano as "Nina".
Tickets are available for $20 for adults, $18 for students and seniors. Group tickets for parties of 10 or more are available for $15 each with advance reservation.
