Marin Theatre presents Anton Chekhov’s classic “The Cherry Orchard.” American Conservatory Theater Artistic Director Emerita Carey Perloff, who helmed Marin Theatre’s wildly successful production of “Waste” last season, returns to direct the Russian playwright’s final work. Set at the turn of the 20th century, an aristocratic matriarch returns home to her family’s estate, which has fallen into debt. The house and beautiful cherry orchard are set to be auctioned off while the family resists solutions, desperate to preserve their way of life and ignore the changing times. Director Perloff leads a stellar cast of Bay Area theatre veterans including Lance Gardner, Liz Sklar, Anthony Fusco, Danny Scheie, Leontyne Mbele-Mbong, Jomar Tagatac, Howard Swain, Joseph Patrick O’Malley, Rosie Hallett, and Anna Takayo, alongside New York actors Molly Ranson and Joel Morel.
