The Wilkes University Theatre Department had its final show of the season last weekend. Performed at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center, “Check Out Chekhov” was a series of one-act plays written by Russian dramatist Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Starring both theater majors and non-majors, each act was directed by a different director. “The Brute” was directed by Teresa Fallon, “The Proposal” by Naomi Baker, and “The Wedding Reception” by Joesph Dawson.
