Everyman Theatre Announces Vivienne Shub Memorial Fund

Everyman Theatre has announced the new Vivienne Shub Memorial Fund for Education and Access to Theatre. The Fund was established in memory of Vivienne Shub, a member of Everyman Theatre's Resident Company who passed away in September at the age of 95. The Fund was announced at Everyman's Memorial for the legendary actress on Monday, September 20th.

The Vivienne Shub Memorial Fund's focus on education and accessibility reflect two causes dear to Vivienne, and will be used to support Everyman's education and community engagement programs for years to come.

Everyman audiences remember Vivienne fondly for her work as a Resident Company Member with the theatre. Audiences were treated to performances by Vivienne in productions of The Waverly Gallery, The Crucible, Buried Child, The Importance of Being Earnest, The Trip to Bountiful, Heathen Valley, The Fifth of July, Hedda Gabler, Uncle Vanya, The Cripple of Inishmaan and Much Ado About Nothing. Her sister, Naomi Greenberg-Slovin, wrote several one-woman shows for Vivienne, as well, including Viva La Vivienne (which celebrated Vivienne's 90th birthday) and the wildly successful, record-breaking The Cone Sister.

Everyman Theatre is supported by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council, an agency dedicated to cultivating a vibrant cultural community where the arts thrive. An agency of the Department of Business & Economic Development, the MSAC provides financial support and technical assistance to non-profit organizations, units of government, colleges and universities for arts activities. Funding for the Maryland State Arts Council is also provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
