Little Art Theatre

Flimmaker Sasha Waters Freyer will be in attendance for this screening! Chekhov for Children tells the inspiring story of an ambitious undertaking — the 1979 staging on Broadway of Uncle Vanya by New York City 5th and 6th graders, directed by the celebrated writer Phillip Lopate. Using a wealth of never-before-screened student documentary videos and dramatic super 8mm films from the era, Chekhov for Children explores the interplay between art and life for a dozen friends across 30 years — including the filmmaker.
