Set against the backdrop of America’s Civil Rights Act of 1964, Violet’s reflections on her own childhood are intertwined with the invaluable lessons she learns from those she meets along the way on her life-changing pilgrimage. This heart-stirring musical soars with emotion and features a lively score heavily flavored with country, gospel, blues, and honky-tonk rock.

By Anton Chekhov
Adapted by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Amelia McClain ’03

Set on a rural estate in the tranquil Russian countryside at the end of the 19th century, this melancholy comedy introduces us to an assemblage of fascinating characters dissatisfied with their lives. Some desire love. Some desire success. Some desire artistic genius. However, they are all embroiled in passions that are often paradoxical, sometimes destructive, but always recognizably human. Tom Stoppard’s masterful adaptation of Chekhov’s best-loved play has been heralded for its shining prose and unwavering loyalty to the playwright’s vision of comedy within pathos.
