PRODUCTION 1:
Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike by Christopher Durang

Performance Dates: 8,9 Sep, 14,15 Sep, 21,22,23 Sep
Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha.
Casting for the following roles:
VANYA: Middle-aged, living in Bucks County. Resigned to his life, more or less, at least compared to Sonia.
SONIA: his adopted sister, living with him in Bucks County. Discontent, upset, regretful.
MASHA: his sister, glamorous & successful actress who goes gallivanting around the world.
SPIKE: an aspiring actor, 20’s or 30’s, Masha’s new companion. Sexy, self-absorbed, but otherwise outgoing and friendly.
CASSANDRA: cleaning lady & soothsayer, any age.
NINA: lovely, sincere would-be actress, in her 20’s, visiting her aunt and uncle next door. Star struck, earnest and energetic.
