The University of Akron Theatre Arts program presents this work of Russian social realism by Maxim Gorky. The play is about a group of poor Russians who live in a homeless shelter. Most of the characters delude themselves instead of facing the reality of their surroundings. The cast includes students and community members.

Tickets range from $5 to $10 and are available online. This production runs through March 9.
