(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre presents Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike weekends from February 7-23, 2025. Family rivalry, outrageous costumes, and a sassy maid bring big laughs in this Tony-winning comedy by local playwright Christopher Durang.
Vanya and Sonia spend their days reflecting on life’s lost chances, never having left their childhood home in Bucks County. The calm of their country house is turned upside down, though, when their movie star sister Masha visits with her new boy-toy Spike, sparking new family dynamics.
This hilarious spoof of Chekhov’s plays features direction and costumes by Jordan Brennan, with scenic design by McAfee Madding, lighting design by Chris Chichon, and sound design by Nick Bates. The cast includes Lauren Brader (Masha), Molly Chase (Sonia), Louis Palena (Vanya), Soren Madsen (Spike), Regina Mercada (Cassandra), and Amanda Romig (Nina).
“Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” runs for 12 performances from February 7 through February 23. Show times are Fridays at 8:00pm, Saturdays at 3:00pm & 8:00pm, and Sundays at 3:00pm. Tickets are $32 for adults, $30 for students/seniors/military, and are available for purchase online, in person at the box office, or by calling 609-397-3337. Music Mountain Theatre is located at 1483 NJ-179 in Lambertville, New Jersey.
Following the February 16 matinee, the public is invited to a free talkback with writer-director John Augustine, partner of the late Christopher Durang. The special, hourlong event will begin at 5:30pm. Priority seating will be reserved for patrons who attended that afternoon’s show.
