Mamai Theatre Company Presents THREE SISTERS (links are now live)!

Mamai Theatre Company Presents THREE SISTERS by Anton Chekhov Cleveland, Ohio, May 28, 2015 — Mamai Theatre Company <http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/> opens its third season with new private and public funding grants, two new venues, and a production of Anton Chekhov <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Anton_Chekhov_with_bow-t…>'s beloved classic, THREE SISTERS, directed by Co-Producing Artistic Director, Bernadette Clemens. 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.” Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov Directed by Bernadette Clemens Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Debbie Marino Sound Design by Bernadette Clemens Lighting Design by Jeff Lockshine Live Music by Joseph Milan, Accordion & Joshua Smalley, Violin JUNE 4 - 21, 2015 Cleveland Masonic Performing Arts Center <http://www.paccleveland.com/> DeMolay Room 3615 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115 Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30 pm Sundays at 2:30 pm See publicity photo of Natalie Green, Anjanette Hall, and Meghan Grover as Chekhov's THREE SISTERS here <http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/#!three-sisters/cguq>!

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.
