About the Project
Winner of Creative Arts Theater’s Original Playwright contest, Bonnie Corral brings us to 1990s Chelyabinsk, Russia in this new original musical ~
Polina lives in a tiny village on the edge of Siberia. Ilya works in the coal mines in the nearby city of Chelyabinsk. Meredith is a graduate student of history in suburban America. Wyatt is her adventurous and carefree friend. The four have an unlikely meeting when Wyatt convinces Meredith to come with him to Russia to teach English lessons, convincing her that it will help her complete her thesis work. In an effort to teach Polina and Ilya, the Americans find surprises they didn’t expect in Chelyabinsk, and in Polina and Ilya. As they fight to understand each other, each are haunted by their own past, and invited to question what they think they already know about the world and themselves ~
