Great Souls

Often called the founder of the modern short story, Anton Chekhov was prolific, writing 100 short stories a year at early points in his career, and penning some of the most stylistically impactful work in literature.  This themed reading series introduces audiences to these stories by Chekhov, as well as to the work of other writers whose work expands on the themes, ideas, and images found throughout Chekhov’s body of work.

Our Great Souls reading series features performances by members of the Seagull ensemble, along with guest artists from all around the Seattle theater community. This series is produced in partnership with ACTLab at ACT — A Contemporary Theatre, and Hugo House. Tickets are $10.
