\n\tOne summer in the late 19th century a family and their companions convene at an estate in the Russian countryside. A new play is performed and lives are changed forever as we witness the evolving dynamics of love\u2014young, mature, married, illicit and unrequited. Anton Chekov\u2019s unique characters, including actors, writers, a teacher, a doctor, and wannabes take us on a journey filled with a poignancy of aspiration, success and failure in Chekov\u2019s tragicomic masterpiece.<\/p>\n


\n\tInitially, the play was less than successful on its first public excursion, but two years later in 1898 it flourished in the hands of actor\/director Constantine Stanislavsky at the Moscow Art Theatre.<\/p>\n


\n\tStanislavsky understood Chekhov\u2019s new form of writing, the need to enliven the stage with character behavior, inner life, and subtext. Stanislavsky\u2019s system of acting affected American theater\u2019s primary acting teachers; Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg, Sanford Meisner, Bobby Lewis and Uta Hagen and their many students.<\/p>\n

At the crux of The Sea Gull is an unfulfilled mother-son love, a conflict between traditional and new forms of theater, the obsessiveness, even narcisism of the artist at any price, and the flight of ambition to capture fame often leaving love in its wake.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Sea Gull mirrors human beings as they truly are\u2014loveable and laughable.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe show is directed by Bryna Wortman, associate professor, (Spinning Into Butter, A View From the Bridge); costume design by guest artist Marilyn Salvatore; sets by 溏心vlog免费B站 alumna Cheryl deWardener; lighting design by 溏心vlog免费B站 alumus Matthew Terry and sound design by guest artist Mike Hyde.<\/p>\n
