You can’t control everything, Emma! But isn’t it fun to watch her try!? Yes! Yes it is! And far more than fun— it’s practically a divertissement of the most jubilant nature; it’s a rather uproarious, madcap enjoyment! Emma, the Jane Austen classic— as recently adapted by Kate Hamill for maximum rom-com tomfoolery— is situating itself onto the Everyman Theatre main stage as the final production of the 2025/2026 season. Directed by Laura Kepley,
You must always get your hopes up— it’s wise but scary— though not in this case!

“No one understands their mother!” That was the line that got the most relief-laden laugh during the 82-minute run time of Dawn, a new play by Tuyết Thị Phạm, currently making its world premiere at Everyman Theatre.

Oh what tangled webs we weave when we practice to— get out from under the manipulative fist of the patriarchy who relies heavily on the normalization of harmful tactics like gaslighting.

This time it’s her core-shaking production of Sweat, Directed by the company’s Artistic Director, Vincent M.
Luck is believing that you are lucky, and it is high time for Baltimore to have a healthy dose of luck.

The tale is invigorating; a stunning exposure to the raw humanity that drives mortal men to unspeakable sins all spurned from jealousy.
