I read this about QR Code Readers: "The reader usually has little impact on scannability. If your phone
camera doesn’t have auto-focus or a 4-megapixel resolution, it will have a tougher time scanning. Different handsets have different app thresholds."

Century Theatre presents The Seagull by Anton Chekov
Our spring mainstage play opens this week! Please consider printing the attached flyer to pass around class or make an announcement to your students. In addition to the times and dates below, we have a free preview open to everyone on Thursday, 4/14 at 7:30 PM. Please arrive at 7:15 to find a seat before showtime. The run time is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, which includes a 15 minute intermission.
The actors have created a wonderful acting ensemble for this show. The costumes are sumptuous and styled after the first decade of the 1900s. The scenery first shows a play within a play, in front of a moonlit lake, and then magically transforms to a country house with garden and interior rooms.
Please see the actors and crew members names below. They will be in dress rehearsals and performances all this week during the evenings. Please excuse them from evening classes, as this is a college-sponsored activity. (They are responsible for arranging makeup work ahead of time with faculty.) Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.See you in the theatre!
Regards,
Roberta Cullen
Century Theatre presents The Seagull by Anton Chekov
Century students and theatre professionals present this riveting portrait of a theatre family at the turn of the 1900s. Arkadina, mother and fading actress in her middle years, brings her novelist boyfriend, the famous Trigorin, home to the country estate of her brother for a visit. Tensions erupt when Constantine, her grown son and an aspiring playwright, grows jealous over his mother’s attention to Trigorin, and Trigorin’s attention to Nina, whom Constantine loves. Nina is in love with the theatre and falls for the sophisticated author, Trigorin. Arkadina manages to keep Trigorin for herself (barely), but Trigorin persuades Nina to follow him to Moscow in secret. Two years later we see the changes time as wrought within this circle of family and friends. Constantine is still struggling for recognition and is still desperately in love with Nina. We learn that Trigorin left Nina after an affair. All the family and friends are gathered to pass the time on a stormy evening. Nina comes to the house like a lost “seagull” for a final rendezvous with Constantine and the home and people she used to love.
This emotionally charged exploration of lovers and artists is presented in an updated translation by Tom Stoppard (author of Shakespeare in Love, Rock and Roll and many other plays and screenplays).
The Seagull is presented April 15, 16, 22, 23 at 7:30 p.m. and April 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets available one hour before showtime in the Theatre Lobby. Century Students are free with Century I.D. Patrons 17 and younger are free. Patrons 18 years and older are $8. Seniors and Century staff are $5. This performance will be enjoyed best by older children and adults
