In this sharp, heartfelt new adaptation of Uncle Vanya, playwright Gina Femia cracks open the backstage world of a small-town theatre where art, ambition, and decades-old relationships collide. As the Evergreen Players prepare to tackle Chekhov, they confront shifting roles—onstage and off—and the messy, funny, painfully human truths that surface along the way. A story about community, longing, and the courage it takes to keep creating.
