Christopher Durang's ‘Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike’ at Bay Street

Bay Street Theater will host the Robin Aren Productions presentation of Christopher Durang’s Tony Award-winning play “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” staged Thursday, March 16, through Sunday, March 19. The play, directed by Bay Street’s Director of Education and Community Outreach, Allen O’Reilly, opens Thursday, March 16, at 7 p.m., and stars a talented mix of Sag Harbor locals and New York actors.

The deliriously funny and bittersweet work offers insights into the all too relatable family dynamics, challenges and agonies of 21st century life. Everyone’s monologue and tangled web is nothing short of hilarious … Middle-aged siblings, Vanya and Sonia, share a home and bicker over the circumstances of their lives. Resentments rise when their movie star sister, Masha, swoops in with her young new boy toy, Spike, and threatens to sell their shared Bucks County, Pennsylvania, house. Additionally on the scene are sassy psychic housekeeper, Cassandra, and doe-eyed aspiring actress, Nina, who’s bashful youth infuriates the domineering Masha. This funny, rich, touching and contemporary play deals with everything from millennials to aging gracefully, the theater to Hollywood, and global warming.

The cast features John Leonard as Vanya, Teresa DeBerry as Sonia, Andrea Schiavoni as Masha, Connor Tuohy as Spike, Anna Schiavoni as Nina and Catherine Bromberg as Cassandra. Set and costumes are designed with love by Andrea Schiavoni.

Performances continue Friday, March 17, at 8 p.m., Saturday, March 18, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, March 19, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $35 at baystreet.org or 631-725-9500. Bay Street Theater is on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor.
