2004/2005:

You're warmly encouraged to take part in the following activities engineered by the Russian Club. More information will be provided in the coming weeks.

Three Sisters
October 21 - 31, 2004
Presented on the UCF main campus, 4000 Central Florida Blvd., in East Orlando.
The three Prozorov sisters are bored with provincial life and long for the day when they will all move to Moscow - a dream which will remain painfully unattainable. Anton Chekov's plays capture life's truths in scenes in which the characters speak of one thing, but the moment they are sharing is about another thing entirely.
