Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is a comedy by Christopher Durang, that revolves around three middle-aged siblings, two of which are single and live together in Bucks County, PA. What is typically an ordinary household is turned into an absolute upheaval when their third sibling Masha arrives for a surprise visit and brings her boy toy, Spike. The residents and visitors get caught up in a rowdy combination of competition, bitterness, and an unanticipated desire to break free.
The action of the production was set on the porch of Vanya, Sonia, and Masha's childhood home. It was important to showcase the eloquence of Bucks County homes that the region is known for. I most enjoyed building the garden bench out of scrap lumber found in the scene shop.
