Suspended in the long, extended light of their summer days, their time together inspires The Cherry Orchard, as they wander the estate in hopes of sighting a white deer—an omen of future happiness—struggling to come to terms with their feelings for one another and the profoundly changed world that is waiting for each of them at season’s end.The story of a young theater director who, after her mother’s death, stages Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard in her childhood home, Pastan's We're So Lucky to Live Here is a beautiful and moving inquiry into grief, love, housing affordability, and the transformative power of art. Through the process of putting on the play with members of her town’s community, our protagonist heals old breaches, reevaluates her relationship with her difficult mother, and weaves a new, non-traditional family for herself.McBride and Pastan read from and discuss their books, before an audience Q&A and signings. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/authors-on-chekhovs-the-cherry-orchard/100001994957138504 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 33.09, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene - **lat**: 40.6861766 - **long**: -73.9745672 - **full address**: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, 686 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Authors on Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/19678256ffb4ee3f6b2e8ffdd74fe5b8aec53e3924e879e9f3826a7ef6f45581-rimg-w1200-h600-dc030202-gmir.jpg?v=1785053059 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Authors on Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard being held? - **A:** Authors on Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard takes place on Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, 686 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Authors on Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard? - **A:** Authors on Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard is organized by Greenlight Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
