Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

August 21st - August 23rd at 7:30
August 24th at 2:00

Written by Edward Albee & Directed by Nadine Miller

George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn't care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha's inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.

Doors open a half an hour before each performance.

Tickets are $16 for Adults

Stories of Courage

Directed by Emily Evey

Stories of Courage is a staged reading based on research by PSU Altoona Professor Amir Marvasti.  In this performance, staged readings explore the nuances and peculiarities of courage, a much lauded but poorly understood virtue. The readings will be based on empirical data from respondents who were invited to tell stories of their most courageous acts.

Audition dates in early September. Auditioners who have experience writing are encouraged to audition. Director Emily Evey will be guiding actors to help write Stories of Courage with skills from theatre of the oppressed and interview theatre. Actors will help analyze and weave together the empirical data to highlight a collective found message about courage.
