The Assembly Presents THE THREE SISTERS, 1/20-1/30

The Assembly's production of The Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov will be staged at the The Red Room from January 20-30.

Translated by Michael Henry Heim; Directed by Jess Chayes, on the cusp of a revolution, Chekhov's everyday heroines struggle to find meaning amidst the tempest of fractured memories, uncertain hopes, and thwarted vitality. The Assembly's Three Sisters combines live music and visceral performances to create a powerful communal experience in an intimate space.
