- **Event Description**: A post-communist fever dream about a woman trying to wrangle together a fair election in an autocratic regime run by clowns.About this EventJoin us for the 2026 Centre for Drama, Theatre &amp; Performance Studies Mainstage Show Kostroma, a gripping new play by acclaimed playwright and CDTPS alum Polly Phokeev, directed by the award-winning Beatriz Pizano and performed by our DRM403 students. This world premiere promises intensity, beauty, bold vision, and unforgettable theatre.Synopsis:A post-communist fever dream about a woman trying to wrangle together a fair election in an autocratic regime run by clown bureaucrats, about a family trying to reconcile at the end of the world, about a community trying to find its footing in the aftermath of a failed revolution. There are ghosts, chickens, executioners, ballrooms filled with shards of glass. Absurd, playful, queer in every sense, Kostroma, like politics, like family, is an Escher staircase, winding through a shifting landscape like dictators and children reinventing the rules of a game in play.Cast:The familyMasha: Andrea PerezStepan: Malcolm Crysler-HowardKaja: Ella AnnisArtur: Lev TokolThe officersMuzzle: Grace HuestisBuckle: Grace KeepingGrim: Artemis RiedmuellerWhip: Hannah JamalThe cityIna: Anya IvantchenkoOld man: Samuel BarnesSimon: Japneet KaurChicken: Ella AnnisMayor: Kennedy McCarthyOthersLepidopterist: Adelaine AniagPacifist: Japneet KaurOpportunist: Kennedy McCarthyThe Local: Dalila Bejar-AliCreative Team:Playwright: Polly PhokeevDirector and DRM403 instructor: Beatriz PizanoCostume Designer: Andrew NasturzioLighting Designer: Trevor SchwellnusSound &amp; Projection Designer and DRM354 instructor: Daniel TessyStage Manager: Sichun XiaDRM403 TA: Yizhou ZhangCDTPS Manager of Theatre Operations: Ariel Martin-SmithCDTPS Technical Director: Adrien WhanIntern Technical Director: Cici NieAssistant Set: Mahi Chowdhury, Isla Munnik, Adele ThomsonAssistant Props: Chloe Kim, Jessica Lee, Vivian NguyenAssistant Costume Designers: Sabrina Kousaian, Annie Tang, Sophist Yang, Sherly XieAssistant Lighting: Yifei FanAssistant Sound: Jia YunAssistant Projection: Alice Zhao, Angelina ZhouPerformance dates:Thursday, March 5 at 7:30PMFriday, March 6 at 7:30PMSaturday, March 7 at 2:00PMSaturday, March 7 at 7:30PMSunday, March 8 at 2:00PMGeneral admission: $20Students: $10Alumni: $10Run time: Approx. 1.5 hours with no intermissionVisit uoft.me/kostroma for more information
