Wit
By Margaret Edson
Directed by Lindsey R. Barr
Starring Kay-Megan Washington as Dr. Vivian Bearing
October 1-24
Margaret Edson’s powerfully imagined Pulitzer Prize–winning play examines what makes life worth living through her exploration of one of existence’s unifying experiences—mortality—while she also probes the vital importance of human relationships.
What we as her audience take away from this remarkable drama is a keener sense that, while death is real and unavoidable, our lives are ours to cherish or throw away—a lesson that can be both uplifting and redemptive. As the playwright herself puts it, “The play is not about doctors or even about cancer. It’s about kindness, but it shows arrogance. It’s about compassion, but it shows insensitivity.”
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, the Drama Desk Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Lucille Lortel Award, and the Oppenheimer Award | BUY TICKETS |

| | Angel Street (Gaslight)
By Patrick Hamilton
Directed by Lee Conderacci
Feb. 4-20, 2022
A neo-Victorian Gothic suspense thriller set in 1880s London that explores the abusive tactic of gaslighting, the name of which is derived from this play.
A Broadway hit first produced on the West End and also known as Gaslight, the play tells the story of the Manninghams, who live on Angel Street in 19th century London. As the curtain rises, all appears to be the essence of Victorian tranquility. It is soon apparent, however, that Mr. Manningham, a suavely handsome man, is slowly driving his gentle, devoted wife, Bella, to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness that masks more sinister motives. While he is out, Mrs. Manningham has an unexpected caller: amiable, paternal Inspector Rough from Scotland Yard. Rough is convinced that Mr. Manningham is a homicidal maniac wanted for a murder committed fifteen years earlier in this very house. Gradually, the inspector restores Bella’s confidence in herself and, as the evidence against Manningham unfolds, the author has built and sustained some of the most brilliant, suspenseful sequences in modern theatre. | BUY TICKETS |
| | A Doll’s House, Part 2
By Lucas Hnath
A Baltimore Premiere!
Directed by Steve Goldklang
Mar. 25-Apr. 10, 2022
Who's that knocking at the door???!!!
In the final scene of Henrik Ibsen's 1879 controversial masterwork, A Doll's House, Nora Helmer famously slammed the door on her marriage and family life, leaving her husband and children behind. Well....it's 15 years later and she's back, in Lucas Hnath's shockingly funny and smart comedy hit that asks how much-- even today -- has life changed for Nora and women like her in a world that often still has firm ideas about where they belong.
"Hnath's inspired writing, which endows each character with an arsenal of fastballs, curveballs and spitballs keeps us disarmingly off-balance."
