For its 2025/2026 season, Everyman Theatre is heading into its 35th year of operation with six new plays. These include classics like “August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson,” “Art” and “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike;” fresh takes on beloved stories like “Emma” and “Deceived;” and “Dawn,” an all-new play written by Everyman’s Associate Artistic Director and Resident Company Member Tuyết Thị Phạm.
All of these plays help to continue Everyman’s mission of telling “Great Stories, Well Told,” which has informed the theatre’s direction since its founding in 1990.
“Everyman is known nationwide for being a professional equity theatre company that celebrates the actor and features a Resident Company of Artists,” says Founding Artistic Director Vincent M. Lancisi, in a news release. “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.”
Lancisi founded Everyman with the mission of making theater accessible to everyone, including shows with themes relevant to modern Baltimore audiences.
The theater company offers many programs to make its shows more affordable, including Pay-What-You-Choose seating, discounted student tickets and a free High School Matinee educational program for local schools.
“We take great pride in being able to create opportunities to sustain artists that are local to the Baltimore/Washington D. C. area,” says Everyman Managing Director Marissa LaRose, in the release. “Only a handful of [theaters] nationwide can boast that they feature an ensemble of professional actors like ours, while also being driven to ensure all [theater] and educational arts programming continues to be accessible to everyone in the community.”
