Baltimore, MD 3/13/25 | Everyman Theatre will bring one of the most significant theatrical works in modern history to its main stage this spring: Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. 

The cast in Everyman’s production consists entirely of members of Everyman’s Resident Acting Company, a unique strength the theatre has when staging a story that deals with complex relationships and emotional intensity such as this. Tony Nam (And Then There Were None, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and Beth Hylton (POTUS, Dial M for Murder, Harvey) will take on the roles of discontented spouses George and Martha, with Zack Powell (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Book Club Play) and Hannah Kelly (And Then There Were None, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) playing the blissful married couple Nick and Honey.  

“The power and intensity of Albee’s writing requires actors who are at the top of their game to bring this script to life,” says Director and Everyman Founder Vincent M. Lancisi. “These accomplished actors from our Resident Company are ready to bring audiences an explosive performance unlike anything you’ve ever seen before!” 

Written by one of the most celebrated American playwrights of our time, Edward Albee, this play tells the story of George and Martha as they return to their New England home drunk in the late hours of the night and engage with another couple whom they’ve invited over to entertain. What begins as a game of mental chess between the hosts turns into a marital battlefield exposing the truth lurking beneath their shattering marriage. This winner of the Tony Award for Best Play (1963) and New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award (1962), and nominee for Pulitzer Prize for Drama (1963), is the perfect blend of explosive comedy and harrowing drama, filled with depth, tension, and wit. 

Alongside Lancisi as Director, the Creative Team is composed of Emily Lotz (Scenic Design), Kathleen Geldard (Costume Design), Harold F Burgess II (Lighting Design, Resident Company Member), Kathy Ruvuna (Sound Design), Robin Quick( Dramaturgy, Resident Company Member), Gary Logan( Dialect, Resident Company Member), Denise O’Brien (Wig Design), and Lewis Shaw (Fights and Intimacy, Resident Company Member). Diane Healy will serve as Stage Manager for this production. 

In a heartfelt tribute to the late founding Resident Company Member Stan Weiman, Everyman Theatre will showcase his paintings in the Everyman Visual Arts Gallery located on the Mezzanine named for him and his wife Martha. Stan was not only a founding resident company member at Everyman, but a prominent figure in Baltimore’s theater community, known for his remarkable talent and dedication. Later in life, post his theatre career, Stan began to paint, and these paintings add to his legacy and continue to inspire and enrich the lives of the arts community. His work will be on exhibit throughout the run of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

There are 30 public performances scheduled for this production, starting with a special Pay-What-You-Choose Performance on Sunday, March 23. Weekday and weekend performances run through Sunday, April 20. Tickets start at $48, with accessible Pay-What-You-Choose seats available for every performance.
