ABOUT THE PLAY:
Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new much younger boyfriend, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actor named Nina, whose loveliness somewhat worries the imperious Masha.

CASTING/CHARACTERS: Six actors will be cast.  We need actors of any adult ages, and we hope to create a diverse and inclusive company to bring this play to life.

VANYA - 40s-60s, living in Bucks County. Resigned to his life, more or less, at least compared to Sonia.

SONIA - 40s-late 50s, his adopted sister, living with Vanya in Bucks County. Discontent, upset, and regretful about her life

MASHA - his sister, 50s glamorous and successful actress who goes gallivanting around the world

SPIKE - An aspiring actor, 20s to early 30s, Masha's new companion, must be comfortable being shirtless and wearing boxers onstage. Spike is self-absorbed, but otherwise outgoing and friendly

NINA - early 20s to 30, lovely sincere, would-be-actress, visiting her aunt and uncle next door. Star-struck, earnest, eager to please, and friendly

CASSANDRA - cleaning lady and soothsayer, any age, the comic relief

ALL CHARACTERS CAN BE PLAYED BY ANY AGE and the descriptions are just ages given in the script. PLEASE NOTE: There's a possibility we will also cast an understudy for Vanya depending on turn out. Please note on your audition form if you'd be willing to understudy Vanya. Some stage combat will be required for this show.
