CHEKHOVIAN Adult Film Presents a feature film documentary Directed by Meg Case + Brad Porter @case_and_porter Coming 2026 Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull”. One year. A young theater company takes a risk: in our fragmented modern world, can an ensemble of actors train together on an experimental process for one whole year, with no financial incentive or guarantee of success? The answer is almost no! A Russian Doll unfolds: a play about actors doing a play while making a film about doing a play. Theatre and film collapse into each other. The project nearly collapses in on itself as the company searches for the truth about what it takes to survive as a working class artist in NYC.

OUR CLASS Intense and thrilling. This 3+ hour theatrical epic is a challenge to the body, mind, and soul - and a total acting gift to play alongside my classmates @chulpanofficial @volokilia @gigi__watson @deborah4631 @generavvin @superbeaz @iamgonnabehere @stephenochsner . This 12 show, two week San Francisco whirlwind was a dream, as is the theatre + team @zspacesf . Thanks to @igor_golyak_ @arlekinplayers for the boundless artistic inspiration and the opportunity to return to this piece 10 months after our Boston run, to mark how Zygmunt is changing and how I’m changing.

CLASS COMPANY An acting process intensive with Ryan Czerwonko *BOTH CLASSES SOLD OUT* Email [email protected] for waitlist MONDAYS: at either 2:30-6pm (sold out) or 6:30-10pm (sold out) DATES: Jan 19-May 17, 2026 PRICE: $900 for 18 classes - includes two classes with casting director Ross Shenker AFTERNOON CLASS, 2:30pm-6pm: HOUSE OF CHEKHOV Three sessions of scenes expanding your craft, leading up to a class show of a devised piece based on property, family, love, and sexuality in Anton Chekhov. This will be staged in an immersive style in a brownstone. The first two scenes will cover a range of writers that reflect on Chekhov’s values, such as Strindberg, Ibsen, Odets, or modern writers like Annie Baker, Anna Zeigler, or Sarah Ruhl. We will use Ross Shenker’s translations of Chekhov plays. EVENING CLASS, 6:30-10pm: MOON LAKE CASINO (sold out) Moon Lake Casino is a fictional location featured in many of Tennessee Williams’ plays. We will build toward a class company show featuring these scenes, and in the time leading up to it will be exploring your temperament with writers evocative of Wlliams such as Lucy Thurber, Beth Henley, Sam Shepard, and Lanford Wilson. For both classes, @rosscasts is an NYC casting director and certified Michael Chekhov technique teacher, and will be teaching the technique for two class sessions in the course.
