The master of comedy, Christopher Durang, mixes six distinct characters and dishes up a hilarious stew in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. Vanya and his adopted sister Sonia live a quiet life in the Pennsylvania farmhouse where they grew up, but their peace is disturbed when their movie star sister Masha returns unannounced with her twenty-something boy-toy, Spike. A weekend of rivalry, regret, and raucousness begins.

This touching and wickedly hysterical Tony Award-winning best play features Broadway, television and film veterans:Philippe Bowgen (Spike), Gina Daniels (Cassandra), Carolyn McCormick (Masha), Mark Nelson (Vanya),Michele Pawk (Sonia) and Jamie Ann Romero (Nina).

The creative team includes David Korins (Scenic Design), Leon Dobkowski (Costume Design), Stephen Terry(Lighting Design), Mark Bennett (Original Music & Sound Design), Leah J. Loukas (Hair & Wig Design), Amanda Stephens(Scenic Coordination), Telsey + Company (Casting), and Gary Mickelson (Production Stage Manager).
