Pacific Resident Theatre Extends The Run Of Durang's VANYA AND SONYA AND MASHA AND SPIKE Through July 2

Pacific Resident Theatre extends the run of Durang's VANYA AND SONYA AND MASHA AND SPIKE through July 2, 2023.

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and the N.Y. Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, this hilarious and touching production is Christopher Durang's homage to the humor of Chekhov. Set in idyllic Bucks County, Pennsylvania, it presents the problems, aspirations, and dreams of three aging siblings who hope for a better tomorrow in this rib-tickling and poignant play.

Christopher Durang (Playwright) won a Tony Award (“Best Play” 2013) for Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. He received Obie Awards for Sister Mary Ignatius, The Marriage of Bette and Boo, Betty's Summer Vacation, and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical for A History of the American Film. Durang has been awarded numerous fellowships and high-profile grants including a Guggenheim, a Rockefeller, the CBS Playwriting Fellowship, the Lecomte du Nouy Foundation grant, and the Kenyon Festival Theatre Playwriting Prize. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild Council and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama for Miss Witherspoon. On May 17, 2010, he was presented with the very first Luminary Award from the New York Innovative Theatre Awards for his work Off-Off-Broadway. He was awarded the PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation for Theater Award in 2012. That same year, he was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
