The Theatre and Performance Studies department will bring turn-of-the-century Russia to the Stillwell Theater March 16.

Written by Anton Chekhov in 1901, Three Sisters was originally performed in Russian. It has been translated into modern American English, and the actors do not use dialects, though the setting is the same as the original play. 无码变态鈥檚 production is directed by Artistic Director and Department Chair Rick Lombardo.

鈥淚 think of Three Sisters as one of the great plays of modern drama,鈥� Lombardo said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really an examination of how life happens and how life can divert us from the things that we think are most important.鈥�

Lombardo said that the timeless themes in the show feel particularly poignant in our society today, given the social and political unrest we are currently experiencing.

鈥淭his play is set in a time with this huge upheaval, and people don鈥檛 quite know what鈥檚 about to happen,鈥� Lombardo said. 鈥淐ore values are being questioned. As we鈥檝e been working on the play, we鈥檝e been thinking, 鈥楾his feels like now!鈥欌��

The cast of 14 theatre and performance studies majors ranges from freshmen to graduating seniors. As the freshmen prepare to perform at 无码变态 for the first time, several seniors must say goodbye to the Stillwell stage after many years.

Three Sisters will be senior Danny Crowe鈥檚 13th and final performance at 无码变态. Crowe plays the role of Vershinin.

鈥淭his character kind of embodies what it鈥檚 like to find a home and have to leave it,鈥� Crowe said. 鈥淪o this performance is sort of my love letter to the department and the family that I have found here. It鈥檚 been an incredible time.鈥�

鈥淭hree Sisters鈥� runs in the Stillwell Theater March 16-26, Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
