"Chance Theater masters Anton Chekhov's The Seagull. A much more satisfying - and funny - experience than your standard Chekhov production. " "Seagull soars in Anaheim Hills. This fine production presents us with Chekhov's penetrating understanding of his fellow man." “First rate production! Excellent performances, astute direction, and a gorgeous design. Fans of the Russian playwright are sure to be in pre-Revolutionary heaven.” "Proves that classics need not be treated as museum pieces, but can still have a profound impression on its audience."

September 25 - October 25, 2009 art, sex, and fragile dreams... In a garden by a lake, old friends and family gather to watch the newest theatrical creation of Konstantin, the son of a celebrated actress past her prime. Little does anyone in attendance know that what happens this evening will set off a series of events that will change their lives forever. People will fall in and out of love, people will drink, and people will shoot birds and even themselves. Bear witness to Chekhov's tragicomedy of life and art that astonished the old century as it heralded the birth of modern drama. Adapted by Richard Nelson, whose dramatic sensibilities were previously brought to the Chance stage with his play Goodnight Children Everywhere, Chekhov's first major play still resonates today. Along with the themes of fame, sex, love and dysfunctional families, The Seagull is one of the great plays about art. It superbly captures the struggle for new forms, the questionable value of commercial success, as well as the frustrations and fulfilments of creating "true art."
