The Seagull, one of Chekhov’s most popular play and a favorite among actors, returns with a vital new production directed by Chekhov expert and actor Bruce Katzman, author of Secrets of Chekhov, and stars Sasha Alexander (Rizzoli and Isles, NCIS, Shameless) as Arkadina, and James Tupper (Revenge, Big Little Lies, Grey’s Anatomy, Men in Trees, and more recently appearing on FBI and The Irrational) as Trigorin, with performances taking place January 18 through February 9, 2025, in a visiting production at the Odyssey Theatre, with two preview performances on January 16 and 17.
