Anton Chekhov’s The Proposal is a one-act farce that satirizes the materialistic and quarrelsome nature of the 19th-century Russian landowning class. It is a short, hilarious, and practical short story about two wealthy neighbors with the goal of expanding their wealth through marriage.
Overtones, Alice Gerstenberg’s most famous play, is a hilarious one-act that explores the dynamic between two women, played by four actors. The “outer selves” present themselves as sophisticated, if not a little catty, women that have known each other since childhood and treat each other with the expected respect. Their “inner selves” have no such requirement, speaking exactly what’s on their mind be it about love, money, or cake.
This production is appropriate for audiences of all ages. Families and young theatre-goers are welcome! As always, parents and guardians are encouraged to consider their individual child’s comfort with live theatre and ability to remain seated for the duration of the performance.
