Mamai Theatre Company

Presents

the FINAL WEEKEND

& 3rd Thursday AEA Discount tickets to


THREE SISTERS

by Anton Chekhov

"Tickets will be fought over to see this classic work done as theater
should be… there are not enough words of praise sufficient to convey the
sense of awe one has when witnessing the performance. This may well be the
best dramatic production of the season and must not be missed. It is
classic theater done masterfully."

~Mark Horning, AXS

"Director Bernadette Clemens finds all the very intimate, inescapably dark
and often very funny moments in this four-act...masterwork.  And her
remarkable ensemble of players puts them on display."

~Bob Abelman, the Cleveland Jewish News

"This female-run theater company, specializing in classic works, usually
delivers quality goods and this production is no exception."

"...under the crisp and often inspired direction of Bernadette
Clemens...[the] acting company lash[es] your attention to the small moments
at hand."

~Christine Howey, Scene Magazine

THREE SISTERS follows Olga, Masha, and Irina as they struggle to let go  of
their past and to shape their future. A domineering sister-in-law, romance,
soldiers, and money all challenge the Prozorov family’s  happiness and
unity. With artful depiction of three very different women, Chekhov
fascinates audiences with his ability to articulate the chaos or peace of a
single moment and the comedy of life’s struggles.

Director Bernadette Clemens notes: “THREE SISTERS is like a very fine
still-life painting. The play has rich composition, intriguing contrast,
and dark shadow highlighting the most delicate, ephemeral detail. It is
everything we suspect a classic of a major playwright to be. Just when we
enjoy the most infinitesimal, personal moment --a clock striking, a top
spinning, finding a loose fork on the terrace-- Chekhov invites us to peek
at the gaping, universal experience: love, war, time. Only Chekhov lets us
laugh this way at the very things that are so frustrating, so mysterious
about living. In THREE SISTERS, as in all of Chekhov’s plays, life is never
about the future. It is inevitably, torturously, gloriously, and comically
about the present moment.”

Mamai Theatre Company was co-founded in 2010 by Bernadette Clemens, Wendy
Kriss, Christine McBurney, and Derdriu Ring. Mamai (pronounced Mah' may) is
the Gaelic word for “mother.” Four working mothers, theatre artists,
colleagues, and friends arrived at a place where it was time to create
opportunities for themselves and their community. “Don’t wait to create”
became the inspiration for Mamai Theatre Company.

Our mission is to create intelligent, relevant classical theatre that
offers an artistic home for Cleveland's theatre artists, and equal
opportunity for women in the professional theatre community.

In 2013 The Plain Dealer announced, “Mamai Theatre Company...has made a
howling entrance onto the city’s artistic scene” and named their inaugural
production, Medea, a top-10 theatre event of the year. In 2014
LandofCleve.net added, “In only a few short years, Mamai Theatre Company
has established themselves as a major player in the Cleveland theatre
community. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
