Women's Voices Take Spotlight in Second Season of Everyman Salon Series
Everyman Theatre is excited to announce the return of the Salon Series Women's Voices in the 16/17 Season. Thanks to last season's overwhelming demand and sold-out performances, this year, the informal play reading series will increase from four to six plays and will take place over the entire 16/17 Season. The six plays of The Salon Series complement the Main Stage production and feature the work of female playwrights. These Salon readings will also be directed by the women of Everyman's Resident Acting Company and hosted by well-known and accomplished women in our area.
The readings will take place in the theatre's second-floor rehearsal hall, which will be transformed into a stripped-down performance space with a bar, on select Monday evenings: September 19, October 31, December 12, February 6, March 27 and June 5 from 6PM to 10PM.
"This year we really wanted to have a dialogue between the Main Stage shows downstairs and the readings upstairs," said Everyman's Artistic Associate Johanna Gruenhut. "While we were curating the Salon, we realized that each of the Main Stage productions examined a type of 'new normal.' We took that theme and are using it to examine change within the parameters of families, specifically driven by strong female leads. Everything audiences loved about the salon last year, Baltimore premieres, diverse points of view, and powerful stories, are back in full force. I'm thrilled for our patrons to get to know these incredible women."
Full casting and hosts will be announced at a later date. Each reading will include a pre-show cocktail reception in the rehearsal hall beginning at 6PM, where audience and performer can mix and mingle with the actors and guest hosts. Insomnia Cookies will provide light refreshments. The reading itself will begin at 7PM. Directly following the reading, there will be a post-show cocktail hour, which will allow for conversations and reflections between cast and audience.
Tickets are $15 individually, $72 for all six, and $5 for student. To purchase tickets to the Salon Series: Women's Voices, visit www.everymantheatre.org or call the Box Office at 410-752-2208.
