Attic Salt Theatre Company presents the Tony-award winning comedy Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, at 35below in downtown Asheville.

Nominated for six Tony Awards, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is one of the most lauded and beloved Broadway plays of recent years.

The plot revolves around Vanya and his adopted sister Sonia as they live a quiet life in the Pennsylvania farmhouse where they grew up. Their peace is shattered when their sister Masha, an aging movie star, returns with her young boy-toy, Spike. Rivalries are sparked and regrets are voiced. Oh, and their clairvoyant cleaning woman may or may not have predicted the whole weekend.

The cast is made up of local favorites Adam Arthur, Jane Hallstrom, Christy Montesdeoca and Henry Williamson, and also features relative newcomers to the Asheville stage, Amanda Hunt and Josephine Thomas. The play will be directed by Jeff Catanese, who helmed Attic Salt Theatre Company’s All in the Timing, Women and Wallace, God of Carnage, and The Underpants.

If You Go: Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, by Christopher Durang. Performances November 6-22, 2015. Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased through the Asheville Community Theatre box office, at ashevilletheatre.org or call (828) 254-1320. 35below is located at 35 East Walnut St. in downtown Asheville.
