Secret Theatre Presents THE SEAGULL Through 9/15
The New York premiere of Graham Schmidt's new translation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, a play following a family of 19th Century Russian artists and non-artists depicts a timeless portrait of art and the need to communicate. Through the lens of the roaring American 1920's, this production attempts to break open and examine our inescapable battle to compare ourselves and our work, and the powerful effects of unfulfilled desire. It will play THE SECRET THEATRE weekdays and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 6pm. Tickets can be purchased at: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/264071
Featuring Bob C. Armstrong*, Michael Bartoli*, Jacob Green, Peter Herrick*, Jonathan Holtzman*, Carol Jacobanis*, Kathleen Marsh*, Joseph Mitchell Parks*, Valerie Redd*, Samantha Fairfield Walsh, Curry Whitmire
