About the Show:
Christopher Durang’s Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike is a hilarious, Tony Award®-winning play that dives into family dynamics, missed opportunities, and life choices. The story centers around middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia, who share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they spend their days bickering and lamenting their lives. When their movie-star sister Masha arrives unexpectedly with her much-younger boyfriend, Spike, old resentments reignite, and tensions rise—especially when Masha threatens to sell the family home. As the characters prepare for a costume party with Snow White and an evil queen, perspectives shift, and their lives take unexpected turns. Adding to the mayhem are Cassandra, the housekeeper with prophetic visions, and Nina, an earnest young actress from next door, making for an unforgettable evening of comedy.
