Praise for Cherry Orchard! "Sbarbori's actors handle the subtleties of Chekhov's plot sensitively. They demonstrate the gradual process of accretion by which Chekhov establishes character, theme and story. They don't hurry the pace at which individuals meet, realign relationships, assess their fates. But the production's pace is not static. In fact, the best scenes are provided by four actors who represent the play's major sources of energy. In this production, it's possible to see why the mosaic, a pattern rather than a straightforward line, was Chekhov's true goal." - Barbara Mackay, Washington Examiner

(Steve) LaRocque's Lopakhin is a consummate exemplar of this complexity... Jane Squier Bruns and John Decker are in full control of their characters, the tragic Lyuba and her flighty brother Leonid. Decker's meanderings into overly sentimental and rhetorical speeches are especially funny, played with wry artfulness. Stephanie Mumford's costumes are pleasing and delightful... they imbue the elan of a much larger production." - Roy Maurer, DC Theatre Scene
