FY26 Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike Program by Everyman Theatre

WELCOME FOUNDER, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR VINCENT M. LANCISI

Welcome,

Directing plays is my first love. It’s the artistic part of my job that inspires me, drives me to lead a company of artists to dive into a body of work that is dynamic, varied, and that speaks to everyone in the audience. When faced with choosing the last play to direct in my tenure as Artistic Director, I struggled to find the perfect play. There are so many great ones out there after all. But I knew that Christopher Durang’s comedy, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, would be a fitting final production.

The world is filled with uncertainty and conflict. Life is changing so rapidly, it’s hard to keep up with it all. I longed for a play that made me laugh, that captured the moment when we take stock of our lives, the past, and look for a path to go forward that provides purpose and happiness. I was struck by how timely and profound this play is today. You would never guess it was first produced back in 2012. The themes are timeless in many ways and certainly came across that way when I saw the original production, but they feel even more so now. Christopher Durang was both of his time and ahead of his time simultaneously.

Everyman is a theatre with a family of resident artists and theatre-makers at its center. This family, you might say my chosen family, is so dear to me and to the work we do. Our patrons often cite the Resident Company as the unique and dynamic reason they continue to subscribe to seasons at Everyman. The cast of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, a play about family, is certainly representative of why I created and nurtured Everyman. Then there’s the behindthe-scenes family. It’s a huge village of designers, craftspeople, administrators, board members, donors, who are the close relatives that make the plays happen. What would we do without them?

Subscribers are cherished family members too. If you’re considering subscribing for next season, I invite you to join the family. You’ll always have a seat at the table and I know you’ll be happy you did.

Enjoy the show.

OUR MISSION

Everyman Theatre provides transformative experiences through professional theatre that are welcoming, relevant, and affordable to everyone, featuring a Resident Company of Artists.

MANAGING DIRECTOR

MARISSA LAROSE

Welcome to Everyman,

I am grateful you’re here. We’re living in a rapidly changing world that’s often filled with uncertainty. Through that uncertainty, theatre helps us stay connected. It can provide joy; it can offer hope; it can create optimism; it can help us both reflect back and look forward. A play like Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike does all of those at once – and is sure to brighten your day.

I am inspired by the words of the great comedic playwright, Christopher Durang, who was once quoted in American Theatre magazine as saying, “It’s not theatre unless it makes you laugh, or makes you cry, or holds your attention and transports you to somewhere else.” This is a perspective we share at Everyman. It is why our cast, crew, Resident Company, and administrators work tirelessly throughout the year to provide the transformative experiences of our mission statement. It’s the reason our staff takes pride in being #BuiltinBaltimore – where the creation of the beautiful sets, costumes, designs, and actions are all molded in this very building you’re sitting in. It’s why so many of us come back to Everyman every year and why you continue to support regional theatre.

This production also marks the end of an era at Everyman Theatre, with Vinny Lancisi, our beloved Founding Artistic Director, who has been my friend and colleague for the past six years, directing his final play as Artistic Director. I am grateful for all his leadership and guidance, and I will forever admire what he has established here. I am also filled with gratitude for the strong future he has enabled, including a final gift to all of us: the 2026/2027 season! Curating the perfect Everyman season is a behemoth, multi-faceted task: choosing a diverse mix of stories that resonate, are relevant, and highlight the talents of our Resident Company balanced with securing rights, scheduling with our artists, budgeting, and integrating student and community programming. It’s a monumental undertaking and Vinny has assembled a quintessential Everyman season for next year.

Please see the back of this program for a look at the 2026/2027 season! I welcome you to become a subscriber for the season, either online or visit our box office while you’re here at the theatre. Subscribers get the best deals and the best access; give yourself the gift of transformative experiences all year long. We can’t wait to see you back again soon!

CHEKHOV IN A BLENDER

Christopher Durang’s Tony Award-winning Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike was inspired by his long-time love for the plays of Anton Chekhov (1860 - 1904). As Durang explained in an interview with Jeffrey Sweet, he found the plays difficult to read when he first encountered them as a college student. But his professor William Alfred recited the work aloud in a way that captured the aspiring playwright’s attention and attuned his ear to Chekhov’s pattern of dialogue “with all this surface chatter that suddenly would go sad or lost for a moment, and then go back to chatter.” In 2012, he told American Theatre that when he was a young man, the plays evoked his empathy for the characters, and he felt a kinship with the melancholia. However, he added “now that I have more behind me than ahead of me, I suddenly feel like some of the Chekhov characters—paths not taken, regret, etc.” And so Durang started to write a “what if” scenario: “What if I never left home? What if I and an adopted sister took care of our aging parents while our famous actress sister traveled the world, having a life?” The play that emerged from this exploration, was not a parody of Chekhov, but a comedy set in the present time in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in which he took Chekhovian themes and characters and “put them into a blender. Adding apples, carrots and kale.”

Durang assured critics that audiences “don't have to know Chekhov to enjoy the show because it's so much about family relationships." But, as he told Chad Jones, “If you do know Chekhov, you'll understand the element of sadness." Indeed, the major dramatic works of Chekhov—The Seagull, Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard, and Uncle Vanya—are permeated with what dramaturg Richard Gilman, has described as “the peculiar unhappiness of people without ambitions or without the power to implement the ones they have.” But Chekhov also considered his plays comedies. As Vera Gottlieb explained, the playwright’s portraits of contemporary life at the turn of the last century found humor in the disparity between people’s desires and their ability or willingness to fulfill those desires. Thus, audience members may experience the plays as both “objectively comic and subjectively painful.” Durang brought his own combination of comic and serious perspectives to his observations of contemporary life in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. Playwright David Lindsay-Abaire wrote that the play “hums with regret and longing” but is also “undeniably hilarious,” leading him to conclude, “Chris could dance across that funny/serious tightrope better than any playwright I know.”

While Durang wrote with the intent that audience members who were not familiar with Chekhov would enjoy Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, those who know the Russian playwright’s works have taken a special pleasure in finding Chekhovian echoes in the play. The Vanya and Sonia of Durang’s world live in a country house in Buck’s County—which was also the playwright’s residence. The country estate, or dacha, has a long history in Russian culture and provides the setting for Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, The Seagull, and Uncle Vanya. While Durang’s play has three siblings, not three sisters, it makes a direct connection to the Russian plays in crediting the parents who were professors and community theatre actors with the Chekhovian names, Vanya, Sonia, and Masha. And, when the play's sixth character—a young aspiring actresss— shows up, as critic Ben Brantley proclaims, “anyone who knows [The] Seagull can predict that she'll be called Nina.” Further Chekhovian echoes include a love triangle, an adopted sister, an experimental play that explores new forms and a distant future, characters who want to leave but don’t know how to do so, and one of Chekhov’s most famous lines, “I’m in mourning for my life.”

But Durang promised us Chekhov in a blender, and his Chekhovian references often appear in different combination or contexts than in the originals. His character in mourning for her life is from Uncle Vanya, and not The Seagull, as in Chekhov. The siblings debate whether their nine or ten cherry trees are sufficient to be considered an actual cherry orchard. And Durang offers playful and comically absurd substitutions of familiar Chekhovian references. Instead of Nina identifying as a seagull, the character Sonia declares “I am a wild turkey”—a bird described as regularly falling out of trees. Critic Steven Vineberg commented that the “way Durang’s characters cycle in and out of the repertory of Chekhov roles keeps us Chekhov fans grinning and on our toes” in his analysis of Durang’s Masha as a mash-up of several different Chekhov characters, including the Masha from Three Sisters that she wanted to play on stage. Durang’s blending also extends beyond the Chekhov canon to Greek tragedy, in the form of the character Cassandra. Like her Greek antecedent, Durang’s Cassandra is blessed with the gift of prophesy but cursed that others do not believe her. And there are plenty of references specific to the 2012 setting of the play, often courtesy the not-very-Chekhovian character of Spike.

Chekhov’s observations of contemporary domestic life came in the midst of tumultuous political and social change in Russia. His characters, like many in his audience, were processing the profound transitions of their recent history and looking to the future with great concern. Durang’s character Vanya explores that dynamic for the early twenty-first century in the United States, as he longs for a past that felt unifying and comforting to him as a young boy and worries about a present and future that seem increasingly fragmented and contentious. But even in depicting the despair of his day, Chekhov also left us with the hope of a better future. Gottlieb quotes the writer’s vision that his depiction of the dreariness of people’s lives would lead them to “create another, a better, life for themselves. I shall not live to see it, but I know that it will be quite different, quite unlike our present life.”

EVERYMAN THEATRE: THE FAMILY OF

SHAPING COMMUNITY TOGETHER

Everyman Theatre believes theatre is built in community. While the work onstage begins with playwrights, actors, and designers, it is strengthened by the many partners who help expand its reach beyond the theatre’s walls.

Across Baltimore, Everyman works alongside schools, universities, and community organizations to ensure theatre continues to engage future generations while remaining accessible and relevant to residents in the place we call home. These relationships invite students into the creative process and create opportunities to discover how storytelling can illuminate the world around them.

Through programs like High School Matinee performances, classroom partnerships, observerships, and artist residencies, young people encounter theatre not just as spectators, but as participants.

At the same time, Everyman’s community partners help connect the theatre with neighborhoods, cultural institutions, and organizations across Baltimore. Together, these relationships foster dialogue, celebrate shared history, and ensure that the theatre remains a place where many voices and perspectives are welcome.

This network of educators, students, artists, and community leaders forms an extended family that continues to shape Everyman’s past, present, and future. Their collaboration reminds us that theatre is never created in isolation. It grows through connection, curiosity, and the collective belief that stories have the power to bring people together.

WHY DO WE HAVE A RESIDENT COMPANY?

Only a handful of theatres nationwide feature an ensemble of professional actors that perform regularly each season. They are the core of Everyman Theatre. Because of their distinctive familial bond, history and trust of each other, company members can jump deeply into meaningful relationships onstage. Our artists push each other to deliver the highest caliber of work.

Learn more about our Resident Company members by visitng everymantheatre.org or scanning the QR code.

MAJOR SUPPORT FROM COVER ART DESIGNED BY Jacob Kemp / TALISMAN

Everyman Theatre is a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone – audience members, students, artists, volunteers, staff, and trustees – to experience art and be part of a positive community where all can be treated with kindness and respect.

In order to make this a reality we need your help in upholding our core values and creating a space that allows everyone to fully participate in the transformative experience of live theatre.

WE BELIEVE THAT…

• Everyone is deserving of kindness and respect

• All individuals deserve to feel welcomed and included in the work we do

• It’s our collective responsibility to maintain a safe and supportive environment

• Theatre provokes thought and inspires dialogue, which builds our capacity for empathy, understanding, and connection

• It’s our collective responsibility to oppose racism by consciously, purposefully, and continually striving against racial biases and the systemic structures that perpetuate them

• We must take a united stance against all forms of oppression or marginalization, and recognize that although discomfort may be productive, cruelty never is

WE INVITE YOU TO…

• Embrace a mindset of goodwill and extend courtesy to others

• Immerse yourself fully in the performance – applaud, shed a tear, laugh out loud, and express your emotions freely

• Embrace your fellow audience members’ reactions and cherish the fact that theatre is a shared journey

• Make a deliberate effort to confront your own biases, and partner with us in putting these beliefs into action. We are all learning - help us maintain a positive community and culture of collaboration

• Share your feedback and experiences with us, as we are continually looking to improve

WE WILL NOT TOLERATE…

• Discrimination, harassment, or any form of speech/behavior that threatens the safety or well-being of others

• Unwanted invasion of another person’s physical space

• Refusal to comply with staff instructions or disregarding the theatre’s policies

Any conduct that contributes to a dangerous or hostile environment will be taken seriously. If you witness or experience a violation of the values and expectations outlined above, please alert one of our staff members. Everyman takes this feedback very seriously and will take action to protect our community.

Thank you for joining us and being a part of the Everyman Family!

GRATITUDE FOR THOSE BEFORE US

We honor the Indigenous Piscataway, Lumbee, and Cherokee people of Baltimore City and the unceded ancestral lands of the Piscataway on which Everyman Theatre resides. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities, but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy and as an act of resistance against the erasure of their histories. For more information: https://native-land.ca/ and http://baltimoreamericanindiancenter.org

At Everyman, young artists don’t just play — they create and grow. Each week, campers build conﬁdence, collaborate with professional teaching artists, and explore acting, music, movement, and storytelling on a working professional stage.

WEEKLY SESSIONS: JULY 6 – JULY 24

We are proud to offer full-day*, Monday through Friday summer programming for students entering Grades K – 8.

SCAN TO LEARN MORE & REGISTER! Questions? We’re here to help at: education@everymantheatre.org

*All youth programming runs 8:45am – 3:30pm
