Cherry Orchard
by Anton Chekhov
translated by Associate Artistic Director Curt Columbus
directed by ensemble member Tina Landau
featuring ensemble members Robert Breuler, Francis Guinan, Amy Morton, Yasen Peyankov, and Rondi Reed with Anne Adams, Guy Adkins, Chaon Cross, Leonard Kraft, Ned Noyes, Elizabeth Rich, and Ben Viccellio

The visionary director of The Berlin Circle and The Time of Your Life completely transforms the confines of the Upstairs Theatre to stage a new translation of Chekhov’s funny, sensual classic about moving forward in changing times. Tina Landau and her design team put the Steppenwolf audience in the room with the legendary characters of Madame Ranevskaya’s estate. Five returning Steppenwolf ensemble members and nine acclaimed Chicago actors appear on Steppenwolf’s intimate stage for this unforgettable Cherry Orchard.
