Support the Theater at Woodshill & Unity Hall's 2025 Season

The Theater at Woodshill and Unity Hall are thrilled to announce our coming presentation of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee, from February 5-8, 2025.

“We are thrilled and deeply grateful to return to Unity Hall to present this landmark of the American stage,” says Woodshill’s Artistic Director, Allen Guy Wilcox. “Showcasing the work of 20th Century American playwrights in partnership with Unity Hall provides a wonderful counterpoint to our work during the summer, which centers on Shakespeare. Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is an electrifying and iconic work that has stunned American stages since it debuted in the early 1960s. We are so glad to help welcome in a new spirit of theater-going culture in our area, especially for this kind of gripping and thought-provoking work.”

100% of our $2,000 GoFundMe funds will support our local actors' pay.

 

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opened on Broadway in 1962 with a production that received rave reviews for its raw power and provocative content, winning the Tony Award for Best Play. The play’s controversial exploration of a volatile co-dependent marriage and the effects that can come with psychological and emotional warfare sparked a new era in the American theater vernacular. The production ran for nearly two years and was adapted for the screen in 1966 in Mike Nichols’ directorial film debut starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Sandy Dennis and George Segal. The film received 13 Academy Award nominations and won five. 

 

The February 2025 production at Unity Hall will feature professionals Alastair Boag and Jane Elias imported from London and New York, along with local professional actors Allen Guy Wilcox and Maggie Stephens, all of whom will be familiar to Woodshill’s Shakespeare audiences. 

Performances will take place Wednesday, February 5 – Saturday, February 8 at 7:30PM. All tickets are on sale at unityhall.com/woodshill via Humanitix for:
