The NOLA Project presents an all-new adaptation of a classic play by Anton Chekov in the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. The Seagull; or, How to Eat It is directed by A.J. Allegra and written by Gab Reisman.

The Story

Simon loves Mandi, but Mandi loves Connie. Connie loves Nina, but Nina loves Barry. And Barry just loves himself. All anyone wants to do is get through the weekend and get across the Causeway! This world-premiere dark family comedy by NOLA Project ensemble member Gab Reisman takes a Russian classic and transports it to our day and age in hilarious and touching ways. Please note that this production contains adult content, coarse language, mentions of suicide, and multiple gunshots offstage.
