Uncle Vanya, written by Anton Chekhov and translated by Terry Johnson, centers on the disillusionment of Vanya and his niece, Sonya, who have devoted their lives to managing a rural estate, only to be thrown into turmoil when the aging professor they serve announces plans to sell the property. The play reveals the characters' frustrations, unrequited loves, and deep-seated regrets, leading to a climax of emotional and existential crisis. The experiment is the staging, with the stage transforming and the audience moving from act to act.
Content warning: Mentions of suicide, gun violence, and strong language.

New members of Fall 24 will be introduced to the OFSL community.
Inspired by Efrén Olivares (C'05) and his talk on "Zero Tolerance: Journeys Through Family Separation and US Immigration Policy" at Penn in September 2023, Areli Martinez Pizano started a bi-weekly series titled "Immigration Series" to continue the conversation about undocumented immigrants in the United States. The topic for the series changes each week, highlighting things like implicit bias, cultural loss, mixed-family status, and dual identity. These conversations are open to everyone interested in immigrant rights, undocumented immigrants, and what it means to be an "American" in this country.
More details coming soon!
Come to Tea & Tarot where you can learn what the end of the semester has in store for you (insert ominous laugh)!
