Three classic short comedies by Anton Chekhov get brand-new adaptations by local playwrights. The Bear, The Proposal, and The Dangers of Tobacco are all reimagined in this theatrical romp! Romance turns ridiculous, lectures go off the rails, and tempers flare faster than you can say “existential dread.” Checkov’s comedies reflect his deep exploration of humanity, capturing the beauty, heartbreak, and loneliness that people face with deep care and biting humor.
