Reading over 20 plays and 15 musicals, I hit a wall. No game or work would do; I would not Emilia (in Othello) ...... Karina Ordenez ...... Serena Phillip settle for any show. These seniors are bright, and they have messages to convey and passions that Desdemona (in Othello)..... Lola Tung ...... Charlie Cole go beyond the theater. I began asking my theater network, “Where are all the good plays for an Priest 1 and 2 ...... Jadyn Francois ......

In 1898, Chekhov presented the new Moscow Art Theatre with his play hoping that his friend Irina Arkadina ...... Riley Boals ...... Isabella Holy and theatre practitioner Konstantin Stanislavski would understand the type of theatre Trigorin ...... Jacob Bergman ...... Jacob Bergman Chekhov was hoping to create. “The Seagull” required a new form of acting. Stanislavski was the director and actor who understood this and fittingly created a new system of acting which met the needs of this play. “The Seagull” required realism and Understudies intimate portrayals of people in the daily struggle of their lives. Chekhov and Konstantin: Kijani-Ali Gaulman Stanislavski created a new form of theatre. American modern theatre has been profoundly influenced by the work of these artists. Trigorin/Dorn/Medvedenko: MacKay Mumford; Shamraev: Michael Barbieri Like most Chekhovian plays, “The Seagull” presents us with a group of people who are heroes trapped in their lives. This intimate group of family and friends shows us the joys Time and sorrows that each of their life’s work and passions have brought them. Chekhov’s Part 1: Summer 1898 characters want to live and go on. Part 2: Autumn, two years have passed What I appreciate most about “The Seagull” is Chekhov’s message to artists young and old: “What I’ve realized, Kostya, is that, with us, whether we’re writers or actors, what Place really counts is not dreaming about fame and glory… but stamina: knowing how to keep going despite everything, and having faith in yourself (…) and when I think to myself, Sorin’s country estate in Russia ‘You’re on the stage!’ then I am not afraid of anything life can do to me.”
