This North Coast Weekend

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, a comedy by Christopher Durang has its one and only preview at Redwood Curtain on Thursday (July 3) at 8 p.m. before skipping the fourth and opening on Saturday July 5.

This is information, by the way, that you won't get from the NCJ Calendar.

This 2013 Tony Award winner is a takeoff on Chekhov characters set in contemporary America that rewards but does not require prior knowledge of Chekhov. I’ve been looking forward to this one all year. Directed by Jyl Hewston, it features Christina Jioras, Gloria Montgomery, Mira Eagle, Nadia Adame, Giovanni Alva and Raymond Waldo. It continues Thursdays-Saturdays through July 26. 443-7688, www.redwoodcurtain.com.

At Dell'Arte it's the final weekend for Korbel V: The Secret.  After the show on Saturday, the annual Red Light in Blue Lake adult cabaret is performed in the Carlo, starting at about 10:30 p.m.  Bring a designated driver. www.dellarte.com.
