FPCT Will Open its Season With WIT Next Month

Fells Point Corner Theatre is thrilled to announce that they will open their upcoming season on October 1st with Wit by Margaret Edson. Starring Kay-Megan Washington as Dr. Vivian Bearing, the show will run through October 24th. Lindsey R. Barr returns to FPCT to direct after helming 2020's The Mineola Twins.

The powerfully imagined Pulitzer Prize-winning play examines what makes life worth living through the exploration of one of existence's unifying experiences-mortality-while also probing the vital importance of human relationships. Hailed by NY Magazine as "a dazzling and humane new play that you will remember till your dying day,"a?? it is also the winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, the Drama Desk Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Lucille Lortel Award, and the Oppenheimer Award.

In addition to Washington, FPCT's cast is rounded out by John Dignam, Vanessa Eskridge, Isaiah Mason Harvey, Kylie Miller, Willem Rogers, Kyla Tacopina, and Dana Woodson.
