In Single Carrot Theatre’s Bmore Women in the Arts Conversation Series female artists, administrators and activists interview each other.
In conjunction with Phoebe in Winter by Jen Silverman, which opens on September 25th, and the Women’s Voices Theater Festival, Single Carrot Theatre will host the Bmore Women in the Arts Conversation Series. “Our city is fortunate to have a large number of women at the foreground of its arts scene and leading its arts organizations,” asserts Single Carrot Theatre’s Managing Director Alix Fenhagen. “This series is a celebration of that and a chance to dig into the diversity of perspectives and experiences that these women bring to their work and to Baltimore.”

In a war-torn world, whom can you trust? A family’s central dynamic is forced to make irreversible shifts when an unexpected visitor arrives at their doorway.
