EASTERN PRESENTS CHEKHOV NOV. 12-16
Eastern’s Fine and Performing Arts division presents the classic, bittersweet comedy “Three Sisters,” November 12-14 at 8 p.m., November 15 at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m., and November 16 at 3 p.m. in McInnis Auditorium, St. Davids. Written by Anton Chekhov and adapted and directed by Liz Carlson ‘06 and Director of Theatre Mark Hallen, this production attempts to unleash the comic richness originally intended by the playwright. “I gave them a vaudeville,” Chekhov once complained, “and they turned my characters into crybabies!”
Tickets for all performances are $10 for general admission, $8 for seniors and students, and $5 with an Eastern University ID. Seating is limited. Call the Theatre and Dance Box Office at 610.225.5545 or e-mail your name, the date and time of the show you would like to attend, and the number of tickets you need to: easternutheatre@gmail.com

SPECIAL NOTE: This original adaptation is dedicated to Dr. Betsy Morgan, an Eastern original if there ever was one. In her over 30 years of teaching and leading at Eastern, she has incarnated for all of us what it means to be an authentic, smart, feisty and collaborative companion; to see the world with complexity, humor and compassion; to meet life as an adventure rather than a trial, recognizing Immanence and Transcendence at the center of things when the rest of us get lost in the superficial and peripheral.
