Set on Chicago鈥檚 South Side, Lorraine Hansberry's celebrated play concerns the divergent dreams and conflicts in three generations of the Younger family: son Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis, and matriarch Lena. When her deceased husband鈥檚 insurance money comes through, Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. Hansberry's portrait of one family鈥檚 struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.

This original adaption follows the lives of Olga, Masha and Irina, who yearn to return to Moscow. Set in a small Russian town, the play delves into their struggles with unfulfilling relationships and the passage of time. Despite their dreams, the sisters find themselves stuck, reflecting the broader sense of disillusionment in Russian society at the time. Through rich characters and poignant dialogue, Three Sisters offers a timeless exploration of human longing and the quest for purpose.

A young, idealistic cellular biologist with a brilliant new idea for curing cancer is recruited from relative obscurity to a major cancer research institute by its charismatic director with the offer of his own lab and all the resources he will need to pursue that idea. As the pressure to show publishable results begins to build, his research suddenly hits a snag. He is faced with having to choose between full disclosure of the problem, which would jeopardize the funding he needs, and making the more expedient decision to bend the rules just a little, which will buy him enough additional time to solve the problem.
