Get ready for Chekhov like you’ve never seen him before.
Back for his fourth season with Theatre on the Ridge, physical theatre maestro Andy Massingham brings his trademark wit and wildly inventive style to the works of Anton Chekhov.
In this laugh-out-loud adaptation, classic short stories and plays are turned on their heads, bursting with clowning, comedy, and physical theatre mayhem—all under the big top of Theatre on the Ridge’s performance tent.
Whether you're a Chekhov fan or just love clever, unexpected comedy, this show promises a riotous ride through the absurd and the poignant.
