The UPEI Theatre Society is proud to present CTPAX: A night of one-act plays by Russian playwright, Anton Chekhov. There are three comedic one-acts, “The Proposal” and “The Bear”, translated by Paul Schmidt, and “Swan Song”. Shows run Thursday through Saturday, November 3, 4, and 5 at the UPEI Faculty Lounge. Doors open at 7:00 pm. Start time is 7:30 pm. General admission is $5.00 at the door. “The Proposal,” directed by Ben Hartley, is a hilarious story of young love gone awry. Starring Olu Babatunde, Ben Hayman, and Toni Timmins, “The Proposal” shows how old feuds between two families threaten to ruin a young man’s marriage proposal. Next, a battle of the sexes rages in “The Bear,” directed by Heather Parry. If it is equality she wants then the landowner is happy to oblige by challenging the widow to a duel. Robert Crossley, Julie Kevan, and Justin Shaw star in the comedic one-act, “The Bear”. And, finally, a man comes to the end of an era in “Swan Song”, directed by Dan Bannerman. Jeff Moynagh stars as Ivan Svietlovidoff, an aging actor who reflects on his life and wonders if it was all worth it. Ben MacDonald plays Nikita Ivanitch, a young actor who helps Ivan come to terms with his age, and his career on the stage.
