Cheers to another excellent show in the books! A huge thank you to our talented cast, the most dedicated crew we could've hoped for, and everyone who joined us in the audience to share in the story of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

When one show closes, the next is already in rehearsals! Ardeo Theatre Company is already hard at work preparing for the Frederick Shakespeare Festival. Catch the Woolf cast reunited on stage once again in Unstrung Harpist's Henry IV, Part One and stay tuned for our own production of Much Ado About Nothing coming later this summer!

"The savage fashion in which these four characters destroy one another and themselves is this wholly unfettered torturously beautiful experience... They have understood the assignment and masterfully concocted this theatrical epic that flays you open and leaves you exposed; it’s beyond what words could ever really do justice. Suzanne Beal and her cast of Gillian Shelly, Aaron Angello, Steven Todd Smith, and Maureen O’Neal are giving you the theatrical ride of a lifetime with their production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and it will shake you to your core. Do not miss this exquisite opportunity." -- Amanda Gunther for TheatreBloom

"This is above all an actors’ play, and the level of acting in the production does full justice to Albee’s words and characters... Under Suzanne Beal’s expert direction, the three-act, three-hour production never lags or misses a beat." -- Bob Ashby for DC Theater Arts
