November 6 - 16, 2024 , The Helen
by Anton Chekhov
translation by Paul Schmidt
directed by Eleanor Holdridge
The Cherry Orchard follows a family of down-on-their-luck aristocrats as they grapple with the prospect of selling their beloved estate. As the cherry trees blossom, so do the complexities of love, loss, and the relentless passage of time. This theatrical masterpiece explores what happens when echoes of the past meet the inevitability of change. The Cherry Orchard reveals complex and colorful characters that blend humor and heartache as they encounter the absurdities that abound in simply leading one’s life. This literary classic by Anton Chekhov springs to life in a production featuring the Class of 2026.
