KINDA BASED ON THE SEAGULL BY ANTON CHEKOV BY AARON POSNER
DIRECTED BY JESSICA FRANCIS FICHTER
February 9 – February 24, 2024

An aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mother’s generation. A nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affections of a renowned novelist. And everyone discovers just how disappointing love, art, and growing up can be. An irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov’s The Seagull.
