In the wake of the liberation of the serfs, a wealthy Russian family finds themselves in danger of losing their estate, and with it their beloved cherry orchard. Amidst their struggle to hang onto their precious but doomed land and status, secrets of the past are revealed, social structures explode and ill-fated romances bloom or wither in this poignant drama, considered by many to be Chekhov's crowning achievement.

Featuring the stellar talents of Laila Robins, Sherman Howard and other audience favorites.

Directed by Bonnie J. Monte, who has received much acclaim for her direction of the Russian classics, including Chekhov's The Sea Gull and Alexander Ostrovsky's The Forest .
