The Coffee Trees
By Arthur Giron
Directed By Dr. Marion Castleberry
The Coffee Trees, a new play by Arthur Giron, inspired by Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, takes place on a Guatemalan coffee plantation following the country's 35-year civil war between communist guerilla forces and conservative landowners. The play examines one family's struggle to find its place in a new society that threatens to leave some of them behind.

The Cherry Orchard
By Anton Chekhov
Adapted and Directed By Eric Parness
The Cherry Orchard is one of Anton Chekhov's best-loved and most luminous works, exploring the bittersweet passing of a way of life and the devastating effect of the hand of history on the lives of a collection of ordinary people living in the Russian countryside at the turn of the 19th century. This production of The Cherry Orchard will be set in the late 1940's in the American South, and will parallel the themes Chekhov explores related to the repercussions of the Russian Emancipation of the serfs in 1861 with the American Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the African slaves in 1863.
Featuring: Alberto Bonilla*, Chris Ceraso*, Brian D. Coats*, Elizabeth A. Davis*, Bill Fairbairn*, Susan Ferrara*, Sacha Iskra*, Ben Masur*, Jessica Myhr*, James Ware, Kari Nicole Washington*, Evan Zes*
