WIT - 5th Wall Playhouse - January 16-25, 2026


By Margaret Edson
Directed by Rob Evans 

Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., a renowned scholar of metaphysical poetry, is used to being the smartest person in the room. But when she is diagnosed with terminal cancer, her intellect becomes both her armor and her undoing. Wit is a profoundly moving and surprisingly funny journey through illness, isolation, and self-discovery. As Vivian endures experimental treatments and clinical detachment, she begins to reevaluate her life, her work, and the simple grace of human connection. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Margaret Edson’s Wit is a luminous meditation on life’s final exam—tender, raw, and deeply humane. This production invites audiences to confront mortality with open hearts and open minds.
