Director's Statement

How do we move forward when it feels like the momentum of our lives has come to a screeching halt? We’ve all asked ourselves this question over the past year. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, systematic oppression, and the looming threat of fascism, we’ve been forced to step back and examine how our own personal struggles intersect with this larger moment in time. Uncle Vanya interrogates this moment like few other plays can. It tells the story of a family who, in spite of it all, genuinely believe that happiness is possible and fight to grasp onto it however they can. It’s about everyday people living with overwhelming grief and uncertainty and the things that they decide to fight for anyways. They grieve, they laugh, they obsess, they strive, they flirt, they forget for a moment the load they are carrying until it
all rushes back and they remember everything. This play is always relevant, but in this specific time, it is particularly resonant. In this digital, distanced production, we’re using this play to unpack this moment in time. People in their 20s will play characters in their 60s. There won’t be any green screens or special effects.  But there are people, people who know that however uncertain the future may feel, there is always something to fight for.
