The festival includes several plays from internationally renowned creators and continues through the weekend at Schlumberger at 36 Old Quarry Road in Ridgefield. 

The festival begins Thursday with a one-woman show from Jessica Sherr. Sherr "captures the look, voice and mannerisms of Bette Davis while also revealing her vulnerability, a glimmer of fear, and the anguish of potential failure hidden behind the actress’ tough mask," according to the press release from the festival. 

The festival continues Friday with "Apple,"  a "complex powerful story that goes from reality-based drama to moving magical realism," according to the release. The show is written by Vern Thiessen.

Saturday features a double-header with "Milk A Cow's Tail" and "Killer Therapy." 

Tickets for the Chekhov Festival are $25 and individual performances are $10 each. Additional information and ticket purchases are available at the festival's website or by calling 203-431-2774.
