Boots on the Ground Theater Gears Up for ‘Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike’

authorStaff Writer on Sep 28, 2025

Boots on the Ground Theater retuns to the Southampton Cultural Center in October with its newest production — Christopher Durang’s 2013 Tony Award-winning play “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.” The show runs October 10 to 26 and will be directed by Bob Kaplan.

“Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” is a simple traditional family drama where Masha, a famous actress, comes home with her latest boytoy, Spike, to sell the family home out from under her gay brother, Vanya, and adopted, overwhelmed sister, Sonia, before heading off to a neighbor’s Disney-themed party. And, oh yes … there’s a psychic cleaning lady named Cassandra with a voodoo doll, and Nina, a sweet, innocent young neighbor who gets caught up in the family drama.

The production stars Randall Hemming as Vanya, Bonnie Grice as Sonia, Alyson Friedman as Masha, Shawn Brase as Spike, Kristin Dougherty as Cassandra and Leah Kerensky as Nina.

Shows are Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. from October 10 to 26. For tickets, visit scc-arts.org. Southampton Cultural Center is at 25 Pond Lane in Southampton.
