Philly Spotlight: Theatre Exile’s Who’s Afraif of Virginia Woolf?
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Theatre Exile Review By Tinsel & Tine Editor – Le Anne Lindsay lf to right: Henrik Eger, PhD, Catharine Slusar, Pearce Bunting, Jake Blouch, Emilie Krause I was invited to the opening night of Theatre Exile’s production of the classic Edward Albee play WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? directed by the theater’s Founding Artistic Director Joe Canuso.
