Think about any area of your life where you're saying, I'm ready for what's next? Okay, I've used up the last chapter. I'm ready to graduate from the last level that I was just at. Okay, so, you know just because you know, like my daughter is going into high school, you know, you would say well wow. Wow, Vonya you did eighth grade. So well, keep going. Why would you give all that up to start all over in high school? Hang out in eighth grade. No one's saying you have to go up. Yeah, they promoted you but you can just stay there do it again. We want to put her back in eighth grade we can. Right, but naturally we say that's crazy Carl. Why would you do that? Well, why would you do that? All of you. Why would you stay right where you're at for as long as you have? Vonya’s coming from a great spot, but you're going to, she's going to go to the next level you're coming from a great spot to you're going to take it to the next level. So what we tend to do though is we tend to hang around at the party sometimes too long, right and that can lead to complacency or can lead to something just not performing the way you want.

“Prison Abolition” had been a widely discussed idea for centuries, and was adopted –even by centrists– in the 1970's. —But during the last 40 years and a staggering boom in imprisonment – prison abolition seemed like a fringe idea. “Get rid of prisons?!” Only radical activists thought that was possible. But in the last decade the tide has been turning: , we've had the work of Michelle Alexander and her book the New Jim Crow. We've seen people released from prison become advocates and lawyers, and change the terms of the discussion…people like Vonya Quarles. Even news personalities like Mark Lamont Hill now argue that abolition is a real and tangible goal. Today we hear from all three of these thinkers about the state of the prison movement, and the growing reality of abolition.

I don’t know anyone who attends theatre to reinforce their belief that life is simply a series of travails to be endured until the sweet release of death, but if you’re out there, have I got show for you. Birdbath Theatres is presenting Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya in a new adaptation by Jesse Brownstein, directed by David Abrams and playing at The Belrose through November 18. Vanya (Rob Garcia) and his niece Sonya (Winona Wagner) manage the small estate of his late sister where they live with the family matriarch Mariya (Molly Noble), an old family nurse (Shirley Nilsen Hall), and a guitar-playing family friend (Andrew Byars). The estate’s meager proceeds have gone to support his late sister’s husband Professor Serebryakov (Ray Martin) and his new trophy wife Yelena (Claire Champommier). A perpetually infirmed Serebryakov, after spending the summer at the estate, has come to a decision. He wishes to sell the estate to come up with enough money to purchase a nice retirement cottage in Finland for him and his wife. What of the others who live there? Well, those details can be worked out later. This infuriates Vanya, who’s already ticked off because Yelena, for whom he secretly pines, has shown affection for country doctor Astrov (Jesse Lumb), who has also caught the eye of the perpetually sad Sonya, who bemoans her looks. After two and a half hours, no one ends up with anyone, nothing is sold, and life drones on. Abrams takes a minimalist approach to Chekhov’s look at the miserable lives of a turn-of-the-twentieth century Russian family. There’s no set of which to speak; the audience is seated against the theater walls and up on the stage; and the action (and I use that term loosely) often takes place at opposites sides of the small space, leading many in the audience to have to make a tennis match-like back-and-forth observation of the proceedings. It’s a well-acted production, with Garcia’s Vonya a cauldron of self-loathing that, after finally boiling over, returns to a state of eternal simmering. Lumb’s Dr. Astrov is the least dreary of the lot who, while filled with remorse about his life decisions, provides a welcome spark to the often-lethargic proceedings. The play’s bleak tone is reinforced with some fine cello accompaniment by Diego Martinez Mendiola. Is there any sadder sound produced than that of the bowed chordophone? Regret is the overriding theme of Uncle Vanya; the regret that comes when revisiting the decisions that define a life. I don’t regret the time I spent with the dispiriting Voinitsky family, but I don’t see the need to revisit them anytime soon. ‘Uncle Vanya’ runs through November 18 at the Belrose Theater in San Rafael. Friday and Saturday evening performances are at 7:30pm; the Sunday matinee is at 2pm. For more information, go to birdbaththeatres.com
