Everyman Theatre has announced its 2025/2026 season, celebrating 35 years of being “Built in Baltimore.” The season features six plays led by its 18-member ensemble of resident actors in productions that embody the company’s three-decade legacy of building theatre in the city of Baltimore.
The season was curated by Everyman’s Artistic Team, aiming for a combination of great plays with diversity in style and subject matter with exceptional storytelling and artistic merit. The lineup ranges from inventive new plays and modern masterpieces to internationally acclaimed contemporary works and timeless American classics.
“Everyman is known nationwide for being a professional equity theatre company that celebrates the actor and features a Resident Company of Artists,” said Vincent M. Lancisi, founding artistic director. “And as we head into our 35th year, I’m proud that Everyman has not only been recognized as one of the premier theatres on the East Coast, but that we’ve been able to contribute to one of the most vibrant arts and theatre communities in the country.”
“We take great pride in being able to create opportunities to sustain artists that are local to the Baltimore/Washington D. C. area,” said Marissa LaRose, Everyman’s managing director. “Only a handful of theatres nationwide can boast that they feature an ensemble of professional actors like ours, while also being driven to ensure all theatre and educational arts programming continues to be accessible to everyone in the community.”
American Classics include Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, August Wilson’s “The Piano Lesson,” presented as part of The Baltimore August Wilson Celebration, and a new adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Emma.” Original works will include the world premiere of “Dawn,” written by Everyman’s Associate Artistic Director and Resident Company Member Tuyết Thị Phạm – author of the acclaimed “Dinner and Cake.”
