Assistant Professor of Theater Catharine Slusar received a Barrymore Award for outstanding leading actress in a play for the acclaimed Theatre Exile production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Longtime favorite actors went home happy. The oft-nominated Ben Dibble, who didn't win until last year's Parade, took the leading actor in a musical award for his one-man Herringbone with Flashpoint Theatre Company, and 20-year Philadelphia theater veteran Catharine Slusar won her first Barrymore for outstanding leading actress in a play for the acclaimed Theatre Exile production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? "I've never done anything so hard in my life," she said of the role of Martha. "It didn't leave any space in my brain or body for anything else."

Slusar is directing the Theater Program's Fall 2015 production, four selections from Erik Ehn’s collection of short plays, The Saint Plays. Read about Slusar in this new faculty profile.
