Theatre in the Round Presents The Seagull by Anton Chekhov, adapted and directed by Craig Johnson
January 12 to February 4 - Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2pm
Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) continues their 72nd Season with Anton Chekhov’s classic The Seagull, adapted and directed by Craig Johnson, running weekends January 12 through February 4 with a Monday Pay-What-You-Can performance on January 22.
Set in a rural estate in Russia, this classic play explores the complicated relationships between a group of artists, including an aging actress, her lover - a famous writer, and her son- a struggling playwright. As dreams of greatness, artistic passion, and languishing talent become tangled into their romantic affairs, the play raises deep questions about the nature of love, art, and the human experience. This new adaptation captures all the humor and pathos of Chekhov’s classic play with a fresh tone for contemporary audiences.
Craig Johnson directs the ten-member cast with sets designed by Michael Hoover, costumes by Claire Looker, lighting by Andrew Vance, props by Kris Schmidt, and sound design by Dietrich Poppen.
An audience discussion with the cast and director will be held immediately after the performance on Sunday, January 28.
Tickets are $25. For information, call the theatre’s box office at 612-333-3010 or visit its website.
