The Seagull, one of Chekhov’s most popular plays and a favorite among actors, returns with a vital new production directed by Chekhov expert and actor Bruce Katzman, author of Secrets of Chekhov, and stars Sasha Alexander (Rizzoli and Isles, NCIS, Shameless) as Arkadina, and James Tupper (Revenge, Big Little Lies, Grey’s Anatomy, Men in Trees, and more recently appearing on FBI and The Irrational) as Trigorin, with performances taking place January 18 through February 9, 2025, in a visiting production at the Odyssey Theatre, with two preview performances on January 16 and 17.
The Seagull is Chekhov’s first masterpiece play which continues to resonate with modern audiences. Written in 1896 and titled by Chekhov as a comedy, its two dominant themes — the pursuit of love and the pursuit of artistic expression — are as relevant today as they were 125 years ago.
Far from the big city, a star-struck girl of 19 becomes entangled with a famous actress, her famous writer-boyfriend, and her troubled son. The girl rejects the romantic pleadings of the son but steals the heart of the famous writer and heads for Moscow to pursue him and pursue a life in the theatre as an actress. Heartbreak and unrequited love are the result.
In addition to Alexander and Tupper, the cast of The Seagull includes Parker Sack (Dopesick, Unstoppable) as Treplev, and Cece Kelly (The Last Thing He Told Me, Family Camp) as Nina, in their Los Angeles stage debuts. Rounding out the cast are LA stage veterans Carlos Carrasco (Actor/Director/Producer known for roles in Speed and cult classic Blood in, Blood Out) as Shamrayev, Carolyn Crotty (known for roles at Laguna Playhouse, Boston Court, Odyssey Theatre, Shameless, American Crime Story: The People v O.J. Simpson) as Polina, Joe Hulser (Open Fist and Odyssey Theatre productions) as Sorin, and Will Dixon (The Residence, Scandal, General Hospital) as Dr. Dorn. Filling out the cast are Brianna Bryan as Masha, Matthew Hartley as Medvedenko, Lukas Jann as Yakov, and Hannah May Howard as the maid.
Performances of The Seagull take place from January 18 through February 9, 2025, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Two preview performances are set for January 16 and 17.
