"Lancisi has consistently made excellent choices for the Everyman," wrote City Paper editor Evan Serpick in the January 30th edition of the paper, "and 'August: Osage County, which debuted at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre in 2007 before moving to Broadway, continues that tradition, offering Everyman's dedicated fan base a meaty, thoughtful play, superbly presented, that will have audiences alternately laughing, crying, and likely recognizing some uncomfortable truths about ourselves, our families, and even our country."  Explore further backstage >

"Everyman Theatre officially opened its new home on Monday in a long-abandoned historic theater on Baltimore's west side," reports WBAL-TV's Kim Dacey.  "We need anchors like Everyman to continue the momentum of the west side," said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake at Everyman's Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.  "It makes our neighborhood stronger and more attractive to residents and businesses, and, as you've known for decades, the Everyman has brought regional and national attention to Baltimore's growing theatre community." Explore further backstage >

"I think they are going to love pulling up to the front of the building and seeing this jewel of a theatre that looks like a Broadway theatre right here in Baltimore," Artistic Director Vincent Lancisi tells WYPR's Tom Hall right before the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Monday, January 14th.  "It's got every ingredient to be a cultural tourism hub," Lancisi continues.  "There is this huge focus that the city administration seems to have after the ULI study that says all these resources are here, it's time for this section of this city to do its thing, you know?"  Explore further backstage >

Vincent Lancisi, Everyman Theatre's Founding Artistic Director, was named as one of the "13 to Watch in '13" by the Baltimore Business Journal.  "Lancisi is on a mission to make Baltimore a place where actors can work and settle down.  It's a goal he has been working on for decades," writers reporter Sarah Meehan.  "We're paying living wages, but in terms of guaranteeing enough weeks of employment to completely live on this theater, live on your work at Everyman, we're not quite there yet," Lancisi tells Meehan, "But it's within reach, it's very close."   Explore further backstage >

The Baltimore Sun's Tim Smith reports on the brand new Everyman in the cover story of January 13th's Arts Section.  "There is a lot of pinching yourself, a lot of jaw-dropping," Resident Company Member Bruce Randolph Nelson told the Tim.
