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.</p><p class="" style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><strong class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.</strong></p><p class="" style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Directed by: Brian Westerley</p><p class="" style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Auditions will be held on Tuesday May 28th and Wednesday, May 29th from 7-9pm</p><p class="" style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><b class=""><font size="4" class="">TO SIGN UP, PLEASE VISIT: <a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-whos" class="">https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-whos</a></font><font size="3" class=""> </font></b></p><p class="" style="text-align: center; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(93, 1, 14); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">All auditioners are asked to come prepared to cold read from the script.
