it’s hard to think of much besides this production after seeing it. So here’s a word: this production is good. That adjective may seem blasé, but it’s intended to be anything but. Breaking String’s Cherry Orchard is good in that ephemeral, indefinable way—good, and to find other words would render them dull in comparison to the experience.

The moment St. Edward's University's artistic production of Three Sisters opens, one is mesmerized by the scenery and music. Women with angelic voices drop colorful leaves on stage, as youngest sister Irina (the talented Steffanie Ngo-Hatchie) chases the leaves in delight; an overwhelming feeling of happiness has come over her on this, her 20th birthday. Actors move in a poetic slow motion to capture the essence of the quantum passing yet stillness of time. One cannot help but be taken by the romanticism of it all.
