In the mid-1960s, a young writer’s life turns upside down when her girlfriend drops some unexpected news. Even 50 years later, the reverberations of that moment, and its unexpected consequences, still echo in the intersecting lives of four individuals caught up in a rapidly changing world. This is a bittersweet story of finding and following our passions from Christina Anderson, winner of the Lorraine Hansberry Award. This world-premiere play that explores the universal act of creation—of life, of family, of art—spans space and time to inspire a new generation of makers and lovers.
Join Baltimore Improv Group at The BIG Theater as we get ready for the final season and very LAST episodes ever of "Game of Thrones!!" There will be "Game of Thrones"-inspired improv, games, music and more at this comedy variety show.
Like the rest of our shows at BIG, "Winter is Here! A Game of Thrones Comedy Extravaganza" uses improv scenes created in the moment and adds in Game of Thrones trivia, games, and music as inspiration.
The incredibly popular one-man show about Donny Hathaway is returning to our stage for a limited run. Plus, the incredible Kelvin Roston, Jr. returns to brilliantly embody this role. Once you become a 2018/19 Season Member, you will have access to adding on tickets to this special performance!
Content Advisory: A one-man show based on the genius and mental decline of Donny Hathaway contains adult content and themes of suicide, and may be most suitable for theatergoers in middle school and up.

**NOTE: Run dates now May 7 - Jun 23.** Honest, funny, and dancing with heart, Queens Girl in the World chronicles the misadventures of bright-eyed, brown-skinned Jacqueline Marie Butler, whose sudden transfer from a protective, middle class late-1950s upbringing in Queens to a progressive, predominantly-Jewish private school in Greenwich Village, adds comical confusion to her already quizzical, fish-out-of-water adolescence.

We are back for our second year at the Havre de Grace Opera House. After performing to a sold out house last spring we have crafted a new Vaudeville for everyone to enjoy. For our first-timers, prepare for a night filled with music, comedy, drama and dance! We provide a unique combination of music throughout the last century to pay homage to the Vaudevilles that were widely popular in the early 20th century while making them relevant for today.
A groovy love letter to the 60s filled with puppets, magic, and rock n' roll!

Witch Hunt: a community targets its weakest members as “other”, then uses law and religion to persecute and destroy them.
It’s no coincidence the victims are female identified. What was true in 1670 is eerily true in 2018.
