The Chechens by Phillip Christian Smith and directed by Bill Taylor

Your winner of the 2019 New Play Contest Award!

Performances are August 5-7, 12-14 at 7:30 p.m. and August 15 at 2 p.m.

Beautifully written, The Chechens is an intense, funny and vital production. Set in modern day Grozny, the capital of Russia’s Chechen Republic, rumors are going around that “certain people” are being rounded up and held in a camp on the East edge of town. Can one family protect their little brother who may or may not be the next target? Will they turn him in? Will they go so far as to honor-kill him? What prevails in the end-religion, politics or love?

This play is the winner of the Janet and Bruce Bunch New Play Contest Award.

This play stars Reuben Garcia, Miguel Cintron, Sharon Isern, Hollis Galman and Madelaine Weymouth.
