Eastbound Theatre Presents
 Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
Written by Award-Winning Christopher Durang
Directed by Richard Mancini
This Tony Award-winning comedy centers on the tensions between three middle-aged siblings living in a country house in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Vanya and Sonia lead a quiet, uneventful life—until their glamorous, movie-star sister, Masha, arrives unexpectedly with her much younger lover, Spike. What follows is a whirlwind of comic chaos, theatrical arguments, and emotional revelations as the siblings confront aging, identity, family regrets, and the threat of losing their beloved home.
Infused with wit and absurdity, the play explores the clash between the ordinary and the extraordinary, drawing inspiration from the works of Anton Chekhov. Subtle nods—including a fading cherry orchard and an avant-garde play within the play—add literary depth without requiring prior knowledge of Chekhov.
Critics praised Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike for its sharp humor, emotional resonance, and its ability to blend modern family dysfunction with classic themes. The play won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play and has since become a comedic favorite on stages across the country.
