Two River Theater has canceled its upcoming productions of a new translation of Chekhov's classic play, Three Sisters.

The company announced the cancellation in a statement posted to its website, writing:

"Due to the current surge in Covid-19 cases, and in the interest of the safety of our patrons, staff and artists, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our upcoming production of THREE SISTERS.

Ticket holders for performances this January and February will be contacted by the box office via email and phone this week to discuss ticketing options."

"We want to introduce this play to new audiences and reintroduce it to old ones by putting out a hand and saying, come with us - this isn't a museum piece. It isn't even truly a period piece.
