This is for all you theater fans in Los Angeles... Chalk Repertory Theatre presents a new version of Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters, starring Ricardo Antonio Chavira (of Desperate Housewives) as Vershinin and featuring Asian American actors Joy Osmanski, Jennifer Chang, Aileen Cho, Feodor Chin as the Prozorov family.
Founded by five women, all graduates of UCSD's MFA Theatre Program, this is actually Chalk Rep's very first production. And as you can probably tell, this is going to be a very different, multi-cultural take on the classic Russian play. That's pretty exciting.
Previews are this Friday and Saturday, January 30-31, and Opening Night is Sunday, February 1st. The play runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through February 22 at the Historic Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. For more information, and to purchase tickets go here.
