Franklin Stage Company to Continue 20th Season with THE THREE SISTERS
The Franklin Stage Company continues its 20th season of admission-free professional theatre with a three week run of "We 3," a bold and buoyant adaptation of Anton Chekhov's "The Three Sisters." Performances are July 13th - July 31st, Wednesdays thru Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 5pm. Esteemed FSC veterans Liz Kimball ("The Winter's Tale" & "The Way of the World"), Patricia Buckley ("Tartuffe" & "Evolution"), and Kimiye Corwin ("An Inspector Calls" & "The Tempest") portray not only the three sisters - Olga, Masha and Irina - but also between them skillfully and fearlessly inhabit the rest of the play's nine ebullient, tender and humorous characters. This is Chekhov's masterpiece re-imagined but always faithful to the playwright's powerful portrait of the petty and the profound demands of being human, the relentless and delightful passage of time, and the yearning for escape and happiness. Adapted, designed and directed by FSC's Executive/Artistic Director, Carmela Marner, and featuring an evocative musical score composed and performed live by percussionist Julie Licata, FSC began to develop this project in the summer of 2015 as part of its Works-in-Progress season. FSC is grateful to those patrons who attended the initial workshop performances of "Three Sisters" in 2015, and is thrilled to present the breathtaking production of "We 3" that has evolved since that initial exploration.
As always, at FSC admission is free, donations gratefully accepted. Reservations are recommended.
