Love Everyman, one of the most consistently good theaters in Baltimore. Know before you go: * It is cold(ish) in the theater, take a sweater. (65F) * The specialty drinks at the bar are mid, stick to wine/coffee. Water is free. * There are lots of Pay-what-you-can opportunities, we usually can grab $10 tickets. If you loved what you saw, put some money in the donation box or buy a drink. * If you are from Baltimore, you know you can park for free near Lexington Market and walk, do not interact with the guys holding and they will leave you be. If you can't handle that, park in the garage. read more

My 400th review was reserved for a very special business. I'm thrilled to showcase Everyman Theatre! After Sunday brunch, my partner took me to see Queens Girl: Black in the Green Mountains. This 1 (wo)man play was highly entertaining and inspiring. It's a story of self-discovery at a time when racial tension & ignorance were at an all time high. We sat front and center but there is no bad seat in the house. Everyman Theatre has been delivering high quality performances over 30 seasons. They have a professional cadre of actors who perform on a regular basis throughout the season. Additionally, community access & engagement are also cornerstones of this theatre. Each play has "pay what you choose" tickets available so finances won't be a problem. Sad, I'm really late to the party. However, Go! Check out a play, take a class, become a sponsor, and donate!!! You will thank me later. read more

We had a really fun experience here last night! The 4 person cast of the play Primal Trust was phenomenal. The facility is very nice and the rest rooms were clean. There is a box office for will call and small bar. The theater is smallish of course but intimate. We sat in the front and realized that it is "tight" up there with little leg room and you are looking right u at the actors on the stage. it was still nice, but for those looking for more room or space from the stage, make a note. We plan to return for the next play! read more

ET ! Is one of Baltimores hidden gems! This theater puts on amazing productions! The resident artist are extremely talented, funny and witty. I love that the theater brings modern and fresh takes to their shows. I recently saw the murder mystery there and loved it! The theater itself is very well maintained, has a bar and light bites to choose from. There is ample parking on the street or at many of the garages where they also have security. I have enjoyed seeing plays here during the day or in the evening. I highly recommend if you are looking for something different and unique to do! It's great for a date night, solo date, when friends are in town or just because! read more

I've been to Everyman Theatre twice now (last year for Dial M for Murder and this past weekend for POTUS). Both shows were great. I love that they have a resident ensemble of actors and that their performances are so local (the sets are made locally, the cast is local). And the theater itself is great - small-ish, intimate, short lines for the bar, enough bathrooms for the size theater, and so on! I don't love its location - not many bar or restaurant options for dinner before or drinks after a performance. But there is street parking or garages nearby (I typically Lyft to the theater). Definitely a great, very local theater to support in Baltimore. We're lucky to have it. Check it out! read more

I first went to Everyman Theatre for a Yelp Elite event over the holidays, and I was astounded by the set design and the quaint theater. There is a residency of cast, and we went back recently to see POTUS, and I LOVED every minute of it. A very short play, 90 min total with a 15 min intermission. There are bathrooms on the 2nd floor and the basement, so there's never a super long line. Everyman is amazing because they create their sets and costumes, they take so much pride in the production. I always end up ubering here as the location isn't great for parking but you can plan ahead and probably do a spot hero or garage. The theater itself is super clean and well maintained, they have a bar with play specific drinks and your standard beverages of hard liquor and wine. They do have a water canteen which is great and you can take your beverages into the theater. I love the art scene in Baltimore and we are so lucky to have so many options for theater! read more

This was my first time at the Everyman Theatre. I usually patron a nearby theater that has Broadway Across America shows, but I find it uncomfortable in terms of seating and stairs, etc. This theatre was very comfortable! It was easily accessible on Fayette Street with several parking garage and street parking options, had a quaint lobby with a bar, and ample seating in the theatre itself which was climate controlled and had plenty of leg room. It's a more intimate space so every seat in there had a good view of the stage. I saw The Book Club Play which was very good. Lots of laughs. The resident actors were fantastic and the set design was impressive (and built onsite). The lobby bar was fully stocked and offered several The Book Club Play themed cocktails. I will definitely start coming here for theater. Such a great introduction! read more

Went to see Dial M for Murder here last night and loved it! Very nice theatre and layout. Just like the other reviews said it's an intimate theatre and every seat seems to have a great view! The seats are comfortable and spacious, especially for larger and/or tall attendees. Restrooms are clean. Staff here are great! The play itself kept me on my toes! The acting was amazing too! There is a convenient parking garage across the street as well as some street parking. Truly blown away that we plan to continue to support and patron this Baltimore gem! read more

Really cool experience for my first time here! Got tickets for the Dial M For Murder show happening right now and it was beyond what I was expecting. The theatre itself is so nice I don't think there's such a thing as a bad seat in that room. Would recommend this place to anyone! read more

What an amazing local gem! The in house cast are amazing, the play selection provides variety, and there is not a bad seat in the house! This is a very intimate theater that caters so that everyone regardless of income range can experience the arts - hence the name - it is for every man! I've seen POTUS, Midsummers Night, and Dial M for Murder and I'm going to see And then there were none in December! Can't wait! read more

Yes, it was my first time to this venue. It appears that every seat in the house offers an excellent view of the stage. The subject matter of the play was rather serious, but the actors gave a world class performance hats off to the cast of "Who killed Virginia Wolf"! read more

I attended after an invite from a peer. I am currently teaching a class on "grief and loss" and gave extra credit to students who attended. The play was GREAT! I truly enjoyed it. My review is for the theatre. My wife and I purchased beverages and nuts as a snack during the show. I was approached by a rude usher asking me not to eat. I responded that I had just purchased the nuts from the theatre. She persisted. I did not want to become a distraction so I simply put the snack away. Here's my feedback. DO NOT SELL FOOD IF CANNOT BE EATEN DURING THE SHOW!!! I won't be back and plan to share my dissatisfaction with others. read more

I absolutely love this theatre and I was so excited to introduce it to my husband. My fav seat is always available and the staff is always friendly. This is a theater for true art lovers that can appreciate the skill and dedication that it takes to execute a stage play. read more

This is THE place to see quality produced and acted theatre. There is a good variety of genre, so there is truly something for everyone. The seats aren't terribly comfortable - but that's really nitpicking. This is a fairly large theatre with lots of seating - yet, you really need to get your tickets early. Shows sell out fast. It's been a while since I've been at Everyman's Theatre (pandemic) but cannot wait to be back! read more

Such a beautiful theater! I love how intimate it is and everyone working there was very nice and helpful. I had the opportunity to see SWEAT this afternoon and it was a riveting story and the acting was superb. I felt the raw emotions jumping out of the actors and off the stage! I would recommend anyone to see a show at this theater. I will definitely be back. I brought along a friend and she also loved the play as much as I did. It's in a central location with ample parking garages and street parking. You have no excuse not to see a show there lol. read more

I visited this past weekend (thanks Yelp Elite manager!) and am thrilled I did so. The place reminds me of NYC's Second Stage Theatre. The space is industrial (think concrete), which IMO is perfect bc is makes the stage set prominent. Seating: the stadium seating means that every seat is a good one. I sat in the lower half of the upper section and will choose the same next visit. Also, the plays here seem very smart (The Importance of Being Earnest; Lynn Nottage's Sweat which won-and deserves-a Pulitzer.... ). I look forward to visiting again. Parking: there is the Atrium across the road or a couple cheaper ones (save $2) around the block. read more

Everyman Theatre - Do see it! - Performing Arts Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We were thrilled to get tickets from Sun Insider to Everyman Theater to see "Murder on the Orient Express." All Aboard! This was a striking whodunnit that with a lot of twists and turns. The play was adapted by Ken Ludwig, who was picked by the Agatha Christie estate to write this first stage adaptation of the British writer's famous page-turner. Here is the set up - a crime is committed and someone on the train has done it. What makes it interesting is that everyone on board has an alibi, but also has a reason to kill. Luckily, there is an expert investigator on board to solve the crime. We were amazed as we felt like we were on the train. The set designs were just that incredible. They somehow managed to create the space to represent the interiors and exteriors of train compartments, hallways, and lounge cars, in addition to a café in Istanbul. The lighting and sound only added to the suspense of the story. To see everyone fashionably dressed in 1930's couture was really interesting as well. You had to be quick to catch the humor that was interspersed through the performance. We were delighted to have had the opportunity to see this wonderful performance. read more

Terrific local company. Downtown Baltimore at Howard and Fayette. Great performance of Murder on the orient express. They have great sets. Every seat is excellent and a bar too. A terrific part of a revitalization happening in this part of the city. read more

After seeing a few productions here, I'll agree that there's no bad seat in the intimate house, and we've always found street parking within walking radius. Pricing is typically affordable. Themed drink options during intermission, finish those snacks before you go back in. Plentiful bathrooms downstairs, polite staff, pretty lobby decor. The crew has built some really amazing sets, and I have a similar amount of respect for their wardrobe designers. The cast can vary in quality, and only some will be resident company actors. I wish ET were a little bit more organized about program distribution and giving some approximation of intermission timing, but we'll certainly be back. read more

The venue is nice enough, but this year's opening show (titled "Dinner and Cake," but really "Crazy Stupid White People") is an embarrassment of epic proportions. Attend only if you wish to spend 80 minutes in the company of two of the most ridiculous, annoying, and unsympathetic characters on the planet. There is no subtlety here, no real humanity, not even a plot, really: just a cringe-worthy and relentless succession of faux pas. As we left, a friend remarked "I cleaned two bathrooms this afternoon, and I'll just say this was more fun than that." That was too generous. Many venues have decided in recent years that patrons need to be educated about social, racial, and cultural issues rather than "merely entertained." Pity that Everyman has joined that club and elected to do so in such a clumsy fashion. They're capable of better than this -- but so is any high school drama club. read more

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. read more

Everyman Theatre - The set for the new play Fences - Performing Arts Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Its definitely as GOOD as its gets! Ive been to this theatre twice and have always left with a warm heart and a smile on my face. I went to see Aubergine one week ago. That play brought me to tears (happy tears). The theater is warm, the drinks make you warmer, and something always makes you want to come back. It is quite clear that everyone who works for the theater, loves it. You can feel the love throughout the building. If you haven't yet visited or seen a play, GO RIGHT AWAY!! :) read more

As a student, I LOVE this theater! They have $10 student tickets every Sunday, which is AWESOME! AND they tend to be great seats (a few times I've been in the very front row). The theater is very clean and comfortable. It's a great size in that the actors don't need microphones to project to even the very back row, but there is still a good crowd of people. They have a new play every 6 weeks or so, and there tends to always be something running (whenever I've checked!). There are some regular actors, whom I've seen in a few different productions, and they are all great. From a modern play about a dad needing a kidney from his estranged daughter (Under the Skin by Michael Hollinger) to the classic Great Expectations (Dickens), the theater and actors are very versatile and engaging in a variety of roles. There are signature cocktails to go along with each play are so reasonably priced ($5.50 for top shelf liquor) which is a great perk! BUT NOTE: they don't allow ice or glasses into the theater itself, so if you want to bring your drink in, have them put it in a plastic cup (no ice) early!). ALSO you can get forno pizza at the theater which is a great plus! read more

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! read more

I am so happy my husband surprised me with a show here. The theater is well maintained and reminds me of NYC. We saw Queens Girl...a one woman show and we were so impressed. The acting was phenomenal, the seating was comfortable and the overall vibe was one for the books. This theater is a hidden gem! read more

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! read 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. read more

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 crepe place or Tapas Teatro for a fun, celebratory night on the town! read more

A very nice theatre! Small and intimate. Great seating so you can see the play. A nice bar with reasonable prices. Order intermission drink before the show starts and it's there on a table at intermission. No waiting on line. The play was fantastic! read more

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. read more

Great place! We saw Queens Girl in the World and absolutely loved it! There is not a bad seat in the house.

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. read more

They put on excellent performances of great plays in a small theater so pretty much every seat has a great view, and I certainly recommend them. However, I wish the seats were more comfortable. That's my only complaint, though. Also it's fun to go early and have a beer and order pizza and a salad at the bar for dinner before the show. read more

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! read more

First time at Everyman and the show did not disappoint. What a wonderfully intimate space. We saw their current show, Noises Off and it was an absolute romp. Side-splittingly funny...really. The actors were top shelf and the production was some of the best you'll see in the Mid-Atlantic. The mobile set alone for this show was worth the price of admission. If this production was any indication of the level of theater they bring, I'll be back again and again. read more

Went to the Theatre for the first time and saw "Grounded". A one woman show that really had us talking in the car on the ride home. A great performance, some strong language may offend. Loved the theatre, easy parking right across the street. I don't do a lot of reviews but felt this is a jewel in the Baltimore cultural scene. Wish we had something like this in the suburbs. read more

"Los Otros" (now playing) is the last straw: an almost unendurably bad 90 minutes. Yes, Everyman is a nice little venue; the troupe is talented. But the selection of plays is awful. "Los Otros" is an utter bore -- a re-boot of something that bombed years ago. There's no intermission because the entire audience would refuse to return if they had a chance to abandon ship unobtrusively. But it's typical of this season's schedule. With the exception of "Great Expectations," every play has been a disappointment -- lightweight, dull, or usually both. Each time I go, I find myself thinking it would have been far easier, cheaper, and more entertaining to watch cat videos on YouTube... or do the laundry, for that matter. read more

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. read more
