SUMMARY:Performance:The Cherry Orchard
DESCRIPTION:Anton Chekhov’s *The Cherry Orchard* is considered one of the great classic works of Russian theatre\, having been translated into countless languages and produced all over the world. Some of the greatest American playwrights – such as Arthur Miller\, David Mamet\, and Eugene O’Neill – were directly influenced by Chekhov.\n\nAfter a prolonged absence following the death of her son\, noblewoman Lyobov Ranevskaya returns to her estate  and finds the cherry orchard on the estate in full bloom. Despite this outward sign of prosperity\, her home is on the verge of financial ruin. Along with her brother\, Gaev\, Lyobov struggles to maintain the façade of gentility as their world crumbles around them.\n\nWritten by Anton Chekhov\nTranslated by Paul Schmidt\nDirected by Daniel Cantor\n\nFUN FACTS: Is *The Cherry Orchard* a comedy or a tragedy? It depends on who you ask. According to artlark.org\, “The original intention of Chekhov was for *The Cherry Orchard* to be a comedy\; yet\, [Constantin] Stanislavsky [famous actor/director and creator of the eponymous Stanislavsky method\, known as ‘method acting’] turned it into a tragedy.” Russian literature scholar Svetlana Evdokimova quotes Stanislavsky as saying\, “‘This is not a comedy\, not a farce\, as you wrote\; it is a tragedy\, whatever outlet for a better life you may have offered in the last act… I hear you saying: “Wait a minute\, but this is a farce…” No\, for an ordinary person this is a tragedy.’” Yet this conflict is what makes *The Cherry Orchard* such good theatre. As Evdokimova says\, “Clearly\, the source of the comic lies not in the play’s fabula or situation\, not in what happens\, but in how it happens and to whom it happens. The enigmatic\, captivating\, and almost mesmerising effect that *The Cherry Orchard* continues to exert on its audience is to be found in its good-humoured but foolish protagonists – both charming in their gullibility and pathetic in their utter confusion.”

SUMMARY:Performance:\"People Are Things\" – Devised
DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Tiara Partsch directs this senior thesis show\, a performance of the devised work\, *People Are Things*.\n\nSylvie is a woman like any other. She does not cry when her husband leaves her\; in fact\, she does not say a word – that is\, until she slips a knife in her bag\, before heading out to work. \n\nAs she navigates presence\, absence and their respective boundaries\, Sylvie finds herself on the edge of the world: although no one *really* gets hurt\, this story deals in all-absorbing violence\, the silent kind: the kind which Sylvie finds in every area of her life\, her marriage\, her house\, her employer – an existential violence she attempts (and fails) to contain and define. *People Are Things* is a study of silence. The aura of it\; the sound it might long for at night.\n\nPresented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Performance: Directing.
