April 28-May 1, Thursday-Sunday, 7:30pm/Fri.-Sat, 5pm/Sun, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” all is fair in love and war, but in a marriage that embraces more of the latter, all bets are off.

As soon as they arrive the charade begins. Drinks and words flow as inhibitions begin to melt, $11/seniors, $15/general, Russell Hall, USM, 37 College Avenue, Gorham.
