Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. This playful Chekhov parody from the offbeat mind of Christopher Durang offers siblings who bicker and dicker, drink liquor and snicker in an old farmhouse on the Bucks County, Pennsylvania cherry orchard. Movie-star sister, Masha, dresses up as Spike dresses down to the delight of (almost) everyone. Directed by Taylor Kasch. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Sunday at 2. Reservations and further information are at 805-640-8797 or ojaiact.org.
