An Evening With Anton Chekhov

News

Wednesday, May 15 - 6:00 to 10:30 PM

The Amateur Comedy Club's spring production, features two one-acts and one monologue of three chestnut farces.  ACC has secured rights for the latest 1993 updated translations of the one-acts The Marriage Proposal and The Boor (also known as The Bear for some quirky reason), providing the actors with the most current and pithy jib jab bon mots. Smoking Is Bad For You: A Monologue, a husband's lament prompted by his "thoughtful wife," was penned in 1889 in ink. Where is Chekhov's gun?  You'll need to book now to find out!

We will gather for the reception between 6:00 and 6:30 pm at the ESU and walk over as a group to the
 Amateur Comedy Club at 7:15 pm for an 8:00 pm curtain.
