Month: February 2020

The Cherry Orchard Start Date: Thursday 2/27/2020 — End Date: Saturday 3/21/2020 Admission:$18-$30 Town Hall Theatre is excited to announce the next show in its 75th “TRANSFORMATIONS” Season, Anton Chekhov’s final elegiac comedy masterpiece, THE CHERRY ORCHARD, in a new translation by Richard Nelson, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. THE CHERRY ORCHARD will have 12 performances, including two previews, February 27 through March 21, 2020, at Town Hall Theatre Company, 3535 School Street, in Lafayette, CA. Tickets are $18 – $30, and are available through the Box Office at (925) 283-1557 or online at www.TownHallTheatre.com. THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Anton Chekhov’s final masterwork, arrives at Town Hall in February/March 2020, in a new translation by Richard Nelson, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky of Chekhov’s original 1903 pre-rehearsal script. At once timeless and prescient, THE CHERRY ORCHARD channels the “human comedy”, with all its loves, losses and privileges past, and the inescapable future. The story is simple: on a chilly morning in May in the Russian provinces, around the turn of the last century, landowner Lyubóv Andréevna returns after a five year absence to her family’s estate to find the cherry orchard in bloom. But all is soon to change, as debts must be paid. Location: 3535 School St Stanley Lafayette Contact: Susan E Evans BoxOffice@TownHallTheatre.com URL: https://www.townhalltheatre.com/cherry-orchard
