In Summer 2025, City Academy’s Actors' Company is bringing a fresh and dynamic production of Uncle Vanya to life, directed by the innovative Mark Prince - and we want you to be a part of it!
Join Theatre Director Mark Prince in the Actors' Company's latest production. This is your chance to be part of a cast that will bring Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya to life in a fresh and compelling way. Set in a country estate, this powerful play explores the complexities of love, regret, and longing, as the characters wrestle with their desires and unfulfilled dreams. At the heart of the drama is Vanya, a man who has spent his life in quiet frustration, and the arrival of the charismatic doctor, Astrov, stirs up tensions, old passions, and new revelations.
