Elsinore Players put on 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'

Elsinore Players continues their debut production of Edward Albee's iconic American classic, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" at 7 p.m. Fridays to Sundays, Sept. 16-25, at First United Methodist Church, 216 E Highland Ave. in Elgin.

"We've got guests!" With those three words four lives are forever hurled into a world where false pretenses are stripped away and honesty and truth are the only commodities. Since its Broadway premiere Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf?" has been shocking audiences for 60 years.

Stripped down and left with only the necessities, this thrilling interpretation of a show so scandalous it was banned from winning the Pulitzer Prize will leave you speechless as we bring to life four of American theater's most iconic characters. It stars Lori Rohr as Martha, Jamie Ewing as George, Brian Flemming as Nick, and Audrey Gniech as Honey. It is directed by Thomas Neumann.

Tickets are $25 and $21 for students and seniors, available via www.eventbrite.com.

Seating is general admission.
