Everyman Theatre to Present 'SALESMAN' & 'STREETCAR' in Rep

The culmination of Everyman Theatre's 25th Anniversary begins this spring with the highly anticipated "Great American Rep." The Rep unites two iconic masterpieces and marks the first time Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman and Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire have ever been produced as a rotating rep, where one virtuosic cast featuring 8 resident company members performs multiple roles and transform night after night.

There will be two opening nights for "The Great American Rep;" Death of a Salesman opening night on April 8 and A Streetcar Named Desire opening night on April 15. Subsequent performances alternate nightly with both shows appearing on Saturdays and Sundays. Each production closes June 12.

"I'm thrilled for our audiences to experience these quintessential American plays in this new way. Neither show has been seen on a professional Baltimore stage in about 50 years," said Founding Artistic Director Vincent M. Lancisi. "It's such a powerful combination; you can experience these two classics a week or a month apart, or you can even binge watch them both in one day."

Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller's dramatic masterpiece Death of a Salesman will be directed by Founding Artistic Director Vincent M. Lancisi, while Tennessee William's iconic play A Streetcar Named Desire will be directed by celebrated DC artist, Derek Goldman.

Lancisi founded Everyman Theatre in October of 1990 and has directed over 30 productions including this season's most recent hit, Under The Skin. In addition to his work at Everyman, he has taught acting and directing at Towson University, University of MD, The Catholic University of America, Howard Community College, and at Everyman Theatre. He is a member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers and currently sits on the board of the Station North Arts and Entertainment, Inc.

Derek Goldman has directed previous Everyman productions including: Grounded, The Dresser, The Brothers Size, Shipwrecked!, and Blackbird. He is the Artistic Director of the Davis Performing Arts Center and Professor of Theater and Performance Studies at Georgetown University. He is also an award-winning playwright, adapter, developer of new work and teacher.

The two productions are supported in part by the theatre's Artistic Growth Fund, a new initiative launched in the 25th anniversary season. The three year $500,000 fund is a cornerstone of the theatre's strategy to produce future seasons of significantly increased scale and scope.

Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman features the ultimate everyman, Willy Loman, and his struggle to realize the crumbling American Dream amidst the wreckage of his home life. Since its premiere in 1949 this profound and powerful tragedy continues to strike a chord with audiences around the world.

When the faded Southern Belle, Blanche DuBois, mysteriously appears at her sister's doorstep life begins to unravel in Tennessee William's classic story, A Streetcar Named Desire. Blanche's downward spiral through memory and obsession leads her to a desperate and passionate confrontation with her sister's sexy yet brutish husband, Stanley Kowalski, changing them both forever.

Megan Anderson will play both Miss Forsythe and Stella. She is a resident Company member and has also recently appeared in Under the Skin, Blithe Spirit, and Grounded. Megan is a Helen Hayes nominated actress and teaches a variety of classes at Everyman Theatre.

Danny Gavigan is portraying two of the most iconic characters on stage, Happy and Stanley. He is an Everyman Theatre Resident Company Member and has most recently been seen in Ghosts, Deathtrap, and The Understudy. Mr. Gavigan is also a company member of The Hub Theatre.

The roles of Biff and Mitch will be played by Chris Genebach. Chris was last seen at Everyman Theatre in An Inspector Calls. He has appeared in Manhattan Theatre Club's production of Shining City as well as The Other Side.

Everyman Resident Company Member Deborah Hazlett will be playing Linda Loman, Nurse, and Ensemble in "The Great American Rep." She also has appeared in numerous Everyman productions such as: An Inspector Calls, Ghosts, Deathtrap, and Tribes. She won Best Actress 2006 and 2004 in City Paper.

Beth Hylton will be playing the incomparable Blanche DuBois and Letta in the upcoming rep. She is an Everyman Theatre Resident Company Member who was recently featured in Outside Mullingar, Blithe Spirit, and Deathtrap.

Wil Love is an Everyman Theatre Resident Company Member. He will be tackling the legendary role of Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman. He was last seen in Outside Mullingar, Deathtrap, and By The Way, Meet Vera Stark. Mr. Love has served as Pennsylvania's Totem Pole Playhouse Associate Artistic Director for 25 seasons.

Bruce Randolph Nelson will play three roles; Charley and Howard in Salesman and Steve in Streetcar.
