Description

Come and see the show that Stage Troupe performed for the incoming first years at BU Orientation!

Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia live in their family home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Named after Chekhov's characters by their theatre-enthusiast professor parents, Vanya and Sonia have not had to grow up. After spending their adulthood looking after their now-dead parents, neither has a job, and money is provided solely by their movie star sister Masha, who owns the house and pays the bills.
Vanya and Sonia spend their days reflecting on their lost chances, debating whether the grove of nine cherry trees on their property constitutes an orchard, and bemoaning their Chekhovian lot in life. The only other resident of the house is their cleaning woman Cassandra, who, like her namesake, is prone to making dire prophecies no one believes.
This static environment is disrupted when Masha returns home, bringing with her a flurry of drama, an endless litany of insecurity, and a much younger, gorgeous, dimwitted lover named Spike.
