  2. Chekhov in Shorts


Chekhov in Shorts brings the comedic genius of Anton Chekhov to life through two one-act plays and a cleverly woven short story. Directed and adapted by Diane Benedict, the show features characters such as Popova, played by Holly Leveque, and Smirnov, portrayed by Jonah Goger, as they navigate themes of love and conflict. In "The Bet," represented by Zion Aguilar and Larry J. Lacey, a wager about the merits of life in prison versus execution tests the boundaries of morality. This engaging production showcases the wit and depth of Chekhov's storytelling in a modern context.
