“…much conversation about literature, little action, and five tons of love.” 

Anton Chekhov’s THE SEAGULL is considered a huge turning point in the history of theatre because it was among the first of its kind; straying from the typical melodramatic, presentational style of the late 19th century, and bringing “realism” to the stage. From its famously disastrous opening night to Stanislavski’s masterfully retooled staging to today, THE SEAGULL has equally captivated and mystified audiences for over a century. 

The Company Theatre is proud to once again honor tradition through innovation with its own unique vision of Chekhov’s classic play in a new version by founder and artistic director Carl Del Buono. With a cast of 11 brilliant actors and another ingenious set designed by Brodie McPherson (Richard II) The Company Theatre will be bringing yet another quality theatrical production to Rochester audiences from April 14-30 at the School of the Arts Black Box Theater. Tickets are available now at thecompanytheatreroc.org

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
