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

This original script is based on true stories told as part of Amir Marvasti's research on the meaning of courage. Selected stories were shortened, edited, and deidentified for the purpose of our staged performances. We remain grateful to the students who shared their stories with Amir Marvasti as part of his research at Penn State Altoona between 2011-2013. This show is a reader's theatre production based on 35 interviews. 

Content Warning: violence, sexual assault, sudden death

Things Unseen is partnering with FSI Victim Services for this production; the some of the stories of courage in the script talk about violence and domestic violence. Someone from FSI will be available each production if anyone needs someone to talk to.
