Rooms
A Reimagining of Chekhov's The Three Sisters

Brought to life by the Secondhand Theatre, a company of six MFA actors from the University of Texas, are the previously unwritten moments between Acts II and III of Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters.

This site-specific piece invites the audience into the Prozorov's house and casts them as guests of the family. Taken from room to room amidst a home marked for sale, they bear witness to the most private scenes of sexual tension, blood, and tears from a family torn by duty and repression.

The cast of Rooms includes Marlane Barnes,
Smaranda Ciceu, Kate deBuys, Lesley Gurule, Melissa Recalde, and Tom Truss.
