HILLSDALE: A Reimagined UNCLE VANYA to Open At Center For Theatre Research This May
Roman D'Ambrosio's play features Conor Andrew Hall, Cameron Eastland, and Carly Cooper, directed by Rabiah Rowther.
Hillsdale, an adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya set in modern-day America, written by Roman D'Ambrosio, directed by Rabiah Rowther, will be presented at the Center for Theatre Research, May 4-May 31.
Hillsdale is a drama set at the conservative college in present-day Michigan in which former fraternity brothers reunite for a homecoming game weekend, loosely following the events of Chekhov's classic play Uncle Vanya. Lust, power, and politics collide when two fraternity brothers wish to gain ownership of the dilapidated house they still live in from their successful former frat president, but dreams of a better life for themselves and the former president's beautiful wife challenge their efforts.
The play will feature Conor Andrew Hall, Cameron Eastland (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at Hampton Theatre Company), Amanda Langberg (Matronym at Theater FÅR302, Copenhagen), Reed Lancaster (It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play at Irish Repertory Theatre), and Carly Cooper (Five Times In One Night at LTV Studios).
