The Marion Art Center will top off the summer season with its production of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. The play was penned by the popular and prolific Christopher Durang and had a successful run on Broadway, garnering several major theater awards, to include a 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. Described by The New York Times as a “sunny new play about gloomy people,” it follows three middle-aged siblings and their two quirky cohorts as they navigate the complexities of life, woven amidst several themes from Russian playwright Anton Chekov’s classic works.
Under the direction of Kate Fishman, the siblings and their cohorts will be brought to life by a talented cast of actors that includes Barbie Burr, David Horne, Suzie Kokkins, Cynthia Latham, Adam Roderick and Sam Roderick. The production will run August 11, 12, 13 and 18, 19, 20 at 7:30 pm. The Marion Art Center theater will be arranged with general seating, as well as eight cabaret tables, which are available for reserved parties of four. As seating is limited, reservations are highly recommended. Tickets are $18 for the public and $15 for MAC members. Reservations may be made by calling the Marion Art Center at 508-748-1266 or emailing marionartcenter@verizon.net.
