See how one Russian family makes decision after decision to not decide how to lose its money in the Department of Performing Arts’ production of “The Cherry Orchard,” a play by Anton Chekhov that opens Jan. 18 in the Black Box Theatre.
The performance is produced through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., and seating is limited. Admission is $12 for the general public and free with a valid Elon ID.
Chekhov, considered the first master of staged realism, sets the play during a tumultuous time in Russia with the nobility facing the realities of truly having to work for its money. The richly crafted characters might remind the audience of its own funny family circles.
The play schedule is as follows:
Friday, Jan. 18: 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Jan. 19: 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, Jan. 20: 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Monday, Jan. 21: 7:30 p.m.
