Everyman Theatre

We’ve been going here for YEARS. I just saw «Death of a Salesman» …wonderful. I miss the old Charles St location, but this new building is quite nice.

The Everyman Theatre is an intimate performance venue located in downtown Baltimore within blocks of Camden Yards and the Hippodrome. I’ve attended numerous plays and have been amazed every time by the consistently delightful cast and crew. The cast seamlessly whisks the audience through a range of emotions, leaving one dazed afterwards by such magnificent performances.
At $ 12/​ticket ($ 10 + $ 2 processing fee) for student rush tickets, there’s no better performing art experience for students nearby. Even the «leftover» seats available for student rush provide a great view of the stage. The lineup for the 2015 – 2016 season is amazing, and I would return for every performance if I could!

The ²⁰¹⁵⁄₁₆ season is amazing, the latest play Fences is outstanding! You get to know the characters in the first act then become absorbed into theirs lives. Interesting twists and turns, a very touching and moving story.
Oh and you won’t believe the very realistic set.

I really enjoy Everyman Theatre. Circumstances gave me the opportunity to enjoy a subscription last season — enjoyed it so much that I am signing up for another season! Truly great plays! It seems to me that every seat in the house would be a good seat — good view. Check it out!

We went last night to see Ruined, and was blown away! Granted last night was a Thursday, but we easily found street parking. I would suggest thoroughly reading the signs since it seems that it changes on the weekend, but there were plenty of parking garages around.
When the box office says every seat in the house is good, believe them! From the seating chart on line, it’s hard to see that, but the theater is small (or intimate as they say), but every seat is roomy. My giant significant other sat without any issues. Of course, if you sit in the first row, you’re pretty much a part of the play.
Now to the play– if you see this before Ruined has finished showing, GO! I can’t even describe how good it was. The story line was addictive and gut wrenching. I found myself tearing up and a huge knot in my stomach. The actors were amazing, it was clear these were TRULY pros. They had a special panel after the show with some of the cast and speaking to them without their accents and as their regular selves, you can really see how amazing their acting is.
I didn’t find the tickets horribly expensive at $ 45. and I will tell you, it was worth every penny and more!

An incredible gem in downtown Baltimore producing magnificent shows of the highest professional quality. I have only been coming here for a little over one year, having been going to DC area theatre for the past 30 years. I consider myself so lucky to have found this great company.
I have seen terrific productions such as Tribes, The Understudy, Grounded, and Deathtrap. Their seasons run the gamut of challenging contemporary shows to more traditional ones like Blithe Spirit. There is a resident company of Equity actors here and they are professional in the best sense of the word.
The theatre is small and very intimate (250 seats). Technically, it is very advanced with state of the art lighting, sound and stage mechanical devices. The sets are imaginative and, at times, mind boggling.
There is very convenient and inexpensive parking across the street. The Hippodrome is right around the corner and there are several excellent restaurants and bars just yards away like Fornos and the Ale Wife.
So pay substantially less here than in DC to see the highest quality professional theatre.

We saw «Deathtrap» and loved it. Small, intimate theater with great acting and set design. Very clean and new, friendly staff. Would highly recommend seeing a play here.

Everyman is a great theater in a beautifully restored historic building in an interesting and centrally located area of downtown Baltimore.
The theater itself is small — maybe 250 seats in total. There is plenty of leg room and there isn’t a bad seat in the house (we sat in the last row and it was fine). Tickets are a little pricey (starting at $ 52), but I spent it knowing that it was going to a passionate, rotating cast of actors and people dedicated to the arts.
Overall, we had a great experience seeing Death Trap here. Great show in a great theater with a great staff. I’ll be back.

Grounded– Review for:
This is one of the best performances my husband and I have ever seen.
We didn“t want to see this, One actor, an unknown play, etc But we had tickets so we showed up and were blown away.
Megan Anderson is amazing.
This is not an easy play to sit through, the philosophical issues of whether it is okay go blow up someone who may or may or not be a terrorist while you sit safely in Las Vegas are parsed through the life of a female fighter pilot who just coincidently becomes pregnant.
So while she makes it very clear that she would much rather be flying F-​16s she gets re-​routed to flying drones.
Drones that can shoot hellfire missiles at the push of a button from a safe place in Las Vegas.
Watching Megan act the only protagonist in this play was a harrowing experience. She gave so much of herself in the performance I saw that I wanted to grab her afterwards and say don’t do this anymore because you can’t survive this level of intenstiy.
This kind of theatre is why Everyman is so exceptional and why we buy season tickets every year.

Absolutely love this place — amazing place, fabulous acting, creative sets, extremely professionally done productions, and very friendly /​quick customer service. My husband and I wanted to celebrate a night out (I got a dream job!), and I love Lorraine Hansberry’s classic play, Raisin in the Sun. However, it was sold out for tonight (opening night). I put myself on their mailing list, and two hours later I got a call. I didn’t pay a cent extra, and we had tix waiting for us at the box office when we walked in. We got front row seats.
There is a handicapped-​accessible ramp up to the door and into the seating area. When you walk in, there’s a large lobby with a simple, straightforward refreshment stand to the right and the box office to the left. Seems like folks are regulars (subscribers?) who usually mill around and catch up before the show. I’d say that the average age is about 40 – 50, but I’m in my mid-​twenties and go, simply because I love seeing plays, and no one is unfriendly just because I REALLY don’t match the demographic.
Seating is first-​come, first-​served, and there are only 8 – 9 rows so it is a fairly intimate theater. If you get there ~20 minutes before the show, you have your pick of seats. I sat so close to the stage, it felt like I was IN the circle of actors talking to each other at points!
Here are some practicalities for you:
–It’s located in the theatre district on Charles Street in Baltimore’s Mt. Vernon neighborhood
–You can park in the garage across the street from it ($ 2) or free street parking
–Student discounts available, but not on opening night.
–Coffee, beer, wine, low-​salt nuts, brownies, and cookies are available as snacks
–Currently, the final season at this location is going on. They will be moving to another location after this season.
–Intermissions happen. In this play (2h 55 min), there were TWO intermissions.
A Raisin in the Sun is currently going on, and I completely recommend it. Simply put, I have never seen such a good play. Ever. I think it was that each of the actors was so strong, including the elementary school aged actor making his professional debut today. If you took any member of the cast and asked them to do a 2h 55min monologue, the length of the play, I still would have been riveted and sad to see the play end. Enjoy! Pair it with the crêpe place or Tapas Teatro for a fun, celebratory night on the town!

Everyman Theatre is the place to see award-​winning plays (i.e. Tony winning «I Am My Own Wife» to Pulitzer winning «Rabbit Hole»). A small theatre but the productions are nicely put together. Like Centerstage, it is also a reliable place to recommend visitors or new Baltimore residents to catch a play.
