Come enjoy this UW School of Drama production of a new translation of Chekhov’s “serious comedy of human contradictions” along with other UWRA members and friends. The performance will be in the Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse.
Following the play, UWRA will host a panel discussion featuring UWRA members and friends pursuing creativity — longtime artists and those who started something new post-retirement.
Before the play, you can choose to join with UWRA and UWAA members at Big Time Brewery (4133 University Way NE) for complimentary appetizers hosted by UWAA, along with no-host beverages.

About the Play
A group of artists and dreamers meet in the countryside and wrestle with the costs of ambition, unspoken longings, and the harsh realities of artistic pursuits. Set against a backdrop of love, passionate aspirations, and the search for meaning, The Seagull captures the fierce hopes and quiet heartbreaks of an artistic career. Directed by MFA Student Sebastián Bravo Montenegro.
