![]() | The Cherry Orchard invites you into the world of a once grand Russian estate owned by Madame Ranevskaya and her family as they return from years abroad, hoping to find comfort in familiar surroundings. Instead, they discover that the home they remember is drowning in debt, and their famous cherry orchard, a place filled with family history, stands at the center of their troubles. Relatives, servants, old friends, and a rising class businessman who once worked on the estate all circle around the family as they search for a way to save what they love. Nostalgia, pride, romantic illusions, and shifting social roles push everyone toward difficult decisions, and the orchard becomes more than land. It becomes a symbol of memories they want to hold and a future they fear to face. Humor and heartbreak blend together as the world they knew begins to change, creating a story that hints at transformation without revealing where that transformation leads. | ||

• OPENS MAY 7, 2026 • Pictures from Home / Play Blending humor, tension, and family reflection, in Pictures from Home, Larry returns again and again to his parents’ Southern California house with a camera in hand, convinced that photographing their daily lives will help him understand who they are and how their choices shaped him. His father Irving, a retired businessman with strong opinions, pushes back at being turned into a subject, while his mother Jean tries to keep the peace although she has plenty of thoughts of her own. Their conversations shift between playful banter and raw honesty as Larry digs deeper into the stories buried inside their neatly arranged home. The more he observes, the more he realizes that capturing a family is never as simple as pointing a lens. The play explores how memories collide with reality, how parents present themselves to their children, and how children search for the truth beneath the surface. It invites the audience into a warm, funny, and emotionally layered portrait of a family trying to understand one another without giving away every answer. |
