• Theatre closing season with Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

Theatre & Dance’s ‘Wayfinding’ season concluding with ‘Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,’ opening April 9

Christopher Durang’s Tony Award-winning play “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” will be presented April 9-18, 2026, at the Telfair B. Peet Black Box Theatre.

Directed by Scott Phillips, the story follows a group of siblings and misfits gathered under one roof, each wrestling with the lives they’ve lived — and the ones they’ve avoided. Old regrets, theatrical dreams and unexpected arrivals stir up long-buried tensions and surprising revelations. Through a maze of absurdity and affection, the characters stumble toward self-discovery, often missing each other entirely. Durang’s sharp and tender comedy is a portrait of what happens when the past resurfaces, futures are uncertain and the present demands a choice.

“Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” captures both the humor and poignancy of lives in transition, offering audiences a deeply human and entertaining theatrical experience.
