Evan will return to her theatrical roots in her hometown Raleigh, NC, at Theatre In The Park (TIP), for a special Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, starring as Juliet. The play will be directed by her brother, Ira David Wood IV. She'll be joined by her father, Ira David Wood III, who is also an executive and artistic director of TIP. He has said:
"Evan's first major role at Theatre In The Park was as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker. [...] Watching her work, there was no doubt in my mind that she was going to have an amazing career as an actress. We're all deeply grateful that she and her brother came to us with this project. It's always so important to come home and to give something back to the place and people who nurtured and helped guide you when you were just starting out. It's going to be a wonderful production and I'm grateful to have been included."
The production is scheduled for May 2009, and Hollywood and Broadway celebrities are expected to attend.
