Synopsis

This riotous comedy blends sibling drama with Chekhovian absurdity. When movie star Masha returns to her childhood home with her boy-toy Spike, she upends the quiet lives of her quirky brother Vanya and adopted sister Sonia. Chaos ensues in this whip-smart, laugh-out-loud play about family dysfunction, middle-aged angst, and the unexpected joys of life.

A two-time recipient of the Critics Circle Craig Noel Award, Shana is also a theatre instructor and acting coach. While in Los Angeles, they co-hosted the nationally syndicated radio show, “Women Aloud” with actor Mo Gaffney. www.shanawride.com

A lonely teen’s small lie spirals into a life-changing reckoning in this Tony Award–winning musical about the desperate need to be seen.
