CHERRY JAM.

Varya is losing her mind trying to stave off disaster, but there’s absolutely no more money left and her adoptive mother Lovey won’t stop fritting away what little they have left. To pay off the debts, will the older generation agree to sell the family orchard, or will they continue to do absolutely nothing? And when will they realize that not doing anything at all is still a choice? A spirited and brisk one-act play on Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, featuring six actors and focusing on class conflict, problematic shared history and the impending climate disaster. Presented by Burning House in residency at IRT Theater as part of the 3B Development Series, with support from the Dramatists Guild Foundation, The Chain Theatre and The Indie Theatre Fund/Indiespace.
