Three Sisters, By RashDash, After Chekhov opened to  an open house at Curio Theatre Friday night. The production is a progressive, “punky” look on the Russian classic, featuring absurdist comedy and musical cabaret numbers while asking the audience vital questions. This is the North American premiere of the play by British feminist theatre collective RashDash.

The play focuses solely on the women characters – sisters Olga, Irina and Masha – played by long-time Curio Theatre Company members Colleen Hughes, Rachel Gluck, and Tessa Kuhn (they also played three sisters in last season’s Crimes of the Heart at Curio). The show is directed by Meg Trelease. Check out this review by Broad Street Review. 

Shows will run through March 2nd every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., with one Saturday matinee on Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. Click here to buy tickets. For this weekend only: Enter the code LOVE for $5 off your ticket price.

Curio also invites folks to check out their new reading series, beginning Monday, Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. This is a chance for Curio to take a deeper look at dramatic literature that inspires the company, work with an expanded pool of artists, and even include audience members! This is a pay-what-you-can event. For more information, visit: www.curiotheatre.org.
