EVENTS
In 2010, the entire theatrical world will mark the 150th anniversary of Anton Chekov's birth. Our organization doesn't want to miss out on this date, and so to prepare for the celebration, Moscow Nights is already planning to delight audiences with a new reading of his early plays "Swan Song" (1887), "The Bear" (1888), and "The Marriage Proposal" (1888). All of these plays were written by the noted playwright before his more famous masterpieces "The Seagull", "Uncle Vanya", "Three Sisters", and "The Cherry Orchard". We will perform these plays at the East Region Public Library at Metairie in the last weekend of March and the first weekend of April, 2009. The promotional materials for these plays will appear on our website later. This program is supported by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council as administered by the Arts Council of New Orleans.
