American Stage Adds Matinees For WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF 3/15, 3/22

American Stage Theatre Company has added two "Pay What You Can" matinees to Edward Albee's, WHO'S AFRAID OF Virginia Woolf?, on Mar. 15 and 22 at 10 a.m.

"Tampa Bay is extremely excited about WHO'S AFRAID OF Virginia Woolf?, but many of our fans were afraid they wouldn't be able to attend performances at night or on the weekends," said Todd Olson, producing artistic director at American Stage. "Because we try to be a theatre of the people, we decided to accommodate our patron's needs by providing these two extra performances on Tuesday mornings and in a way that people could pay whatever they want to experience our art."

One of the landmark plays of the twentieth century, Edward Albee's masterpiece tells the story of George and Martha, an aging history professor and his razor-tongued wife who have returned home from another tedious faculty event at a small New England college. However, the night is far from over. Martha has invited a young professor and his mousey wife for late-night cocktails and parlor conversation. Pleasantries dissolve as the liquor flows, and the party devolves into an escalating war of words between George and Martha. The unsuspecting guests are soon drawn into the volcanic battle, exposing secrets within their own marriage. By dawn, no one remains unscathed. Winner of the 1963 Tony Award and New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for "Best Play". Mature subject matter and language.
