From Russian playwright Anton Chekov, The Cherry Orchard is a humorous and poignantly human tale that is still relevant today.  The story follows a once-wealthy family whose family estate, including the cherished cherry orchard, is about to be sold to pay for mounting debts.  Living in the past and maintaining an extravagant lifestyle, the family’s inability to accept help has left the future of their beloved cherry orchard in danger.  If the orchard is lost, they will lose their way of life as well as their family identity.   Written on the verge of the Bolshevik Revolution, this classic play highlights the growing uncertainty of the future and the budding possibility of hope when faced with the unknown.
