Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

Okoboji Summer Theatre / 2023

Christopher Durang's Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike unfolds in a Pennsylvania farmhouse where simmering sibling tensions, theatrical entrances, and comic chaos all collide. Gretchen Ugalde's scenic design frames the production in a richly detailed domestic world built for sharp character comedy and high-energy ensemble moments.
