The Cherry Orchard July 4, 2009

In this new adaptation by Heidi Helen Davis and Ellen Geer, we set this classic drama in 1970 Virginia when the civil rights movement was paving the way to America's first African American President. The text and emotional turmoil are emphatically true to the original masterpiece. In this, we honor one of Russia's greatest writers -- the grandson of a serf -- who pulled himself up from poverty into the light of education and dreams.
