A Funny Night at the Theater With a Bear & a Proposal! Written by Anton Chekhov Directed by Paul Hecht Starring Julia Motyka, Daniela Mastropietro, Max Samuels, John Kroft, Dan Kelly & Josh Gladstone. Chekhov’s THE BEAR and THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL were both written (along with several other farces) in 1888-1889, before his 30th birthday - years before his other major plays: THE SEAGULL, UNCLE VANYA, THREE SISTERS and possibly the greatest play ever written, THE CHERRY ORCHARD. Chekhov's characters in THE BEAR and THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL are good examples of his view of those whose frustrated existence results in decisions ending in foolish, possibly tragic lives. Chekhov often referred to his own work self-deprecatingly, remarking on the success of these farces: “I’ve managed to write a stupid vaudeville, which owing to the fact that it is stupid, is enjoying surprising success.” Come peek into Chekhov’s Shorts with us for a playful evening of staged readings paired with Russian vodka and other sweet treats!

Oregon is a play about a family's struggle to confront the ubiquitous challenges of honoring life in the presence of death. Three generations of women navigate end-of-life care when their 88 year old matriarch’s body starts a negative feedback loop. Together they battle wills, confront the terrifying option of medically assisted death, and ultimately find inspiration through deep self reflection to honor the woman they all dearly love. With patient guidance and grace from their courageous hospice nurse, they balance their pain of impending loss with humor and resilience, processing the lessons and rewards found in loving and losing that challenge us all.
