Join David and Christopher Earl, the team that brought you the wonderful Shakespeare’s Clowns, for a unique examination of Chekhov’s final masterpiece, The Cherry Orchard, through the lens of clown and comedy. Slip-ups, malfunctions, quirks, missed connections, physical comedy, self-centered foolery, mood-swings, and the heartbreaking humor of lost opportunity… The poetry of clowning is a magical way to encounter and experience Chekhov’s timelessly eccentric characters. With character study, improvisations, and comic business galore, don’t miss this one-of-a-kind chance to see behind the drab curtain of sincerity and discover just how and why Chekhov was convinced that his plays were comedies at heart.

Ages 18 and older.

Prerequisite: None. All experience levels welcome!
