The Department of Theatre presents OTMA by Kate Moira Ryan, directed by Eve Muson, with set design by Daniel Ettinger, costume design by Rebecca Eastman, light design by Michael Klima, sound design by Jeffrey Dorfman and music by Andrew Klein.

In July 1918, the four daughters of the last Russian Tsar--Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anastasia--face their final days under house arrest. As they await their fate at the hands of the Bolsheviks, the sisters remain confident of rescue or escape, lose and gain hope of survival, grieve the loss of their old life, and imagine what the future might bring. To pass the time they rehearse The Cherry Orchard, and consider how Chekhov’s masterpiece mirrors their own predicament, and that of Russia’s.
