There is a Four and 1/2 Week rehearsal process.  Rehearsals will be in two
phases:
Phase I (two weeks):  December 9 - 21
Phase II (two and a half weeks) January 5 - 22
Opens January 23 and plays for four weekends - Friday, Saturday, Sunday. 

WHO IS SORIN?
Sorin is the sixty-year-old landowner of the estate where the play takes
place. He spent his life working for a government office and has retired to
his country farm. He is the brother of famous actress, Arkadina and the
uncle to the young writer, Konstantin. His health deteriorates during the
course of the play. Sorin is a patient listener, a confidant, and a
compassionate admirer of both his nephew and sister's talents. His health is
failing. Everyone assumes that because of his position as a lieutenant for
over twenty years, he is happy with how his life turned out. But, in fact,
he's deeply disappointed.  He never accomplished his dreams of becoming an
author, and yet he still manages to joke about his situation and maintain a
quiet dignity and nostalgia. It's a wonderful, challenging role for a mature
actor.
