Lakeland to Stage WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
On September 18, 2015 the Tony Award Prize-winning drama of 1963, 2005 and 2012, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, opens at Lakeland Community College's Rodehorst Performing Arts Center. Initially selected for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by the Pulitzer's advisory board, later- the trustees of Columbia University - objected to the play's then-controversial use of profanity and sexual themes, and overruled the award's advisory committee, awarding no Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1963. Featuring Gregory Violand (AEA) as George and Molly McGinnis (AEA) as Martha, Lakeland's production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf will be the first professional production in many years. The roles of Nick and Honey feature Dan Simpson and Katie Nabors. Woolf is directed by Martin Friedman, with sets and lights by Kristin Williams, costumes by Jordan Cooper and sound design by Eric Simna.
