Baltimore's Everyman Theatre will offer two Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning plays in 2008-09, plus the company's first world premiere by an African American playwright, Washington-based David Emerson Toney.
Artistic Director Vincent M. Lancisi will stage "Doubt, a Parable" (Aug. 27-Oct. 5), John Patrick Shanley's prizewinning story about a nun who believes a priest may be molesting a student.
Canadian playwright George F. Walker's "Filthy Rich" (Nov. 5-Dec. 14), a spoof of the film-noir detective genre, will be directed by Daniel DeRaey, who specializes in interpreting Walker's work.
Bruce Nelson will star in "I Am My Own Wife" (Jan. 14-Feb. 22, 2009) by Doug Wright-- the second Tony and Pulitzer winner of the season. Donald Hicken will direct the solo piece, based on the life of transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, who survived both the Nazis and the communists.
Lancisi will direct Anton Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard" (March 18-April 26, 2009), featuring company members Megan Anderson, Deborah Hazlett, Wil Love, Carl Schurr and Stan Weiman.
Toney's comedy "The Soul Collector" (May 20-June 28, 2009) is about father and son garbage collectors who, in their treasure hunting, happen upon a woman possessed by spirits. Jennifer L. Nelson will direct; Everyman company member Dawn Ursula will be featured.
