(65F) * The specialty drinks at the bar are mid, stick to wine/coffee. Water is free. * There are lots of Pay-what-you-can opportunities, we usually can grab $10 tickets. If you loved what you saw, put some money in the donation box or buy a drink. * If you are from Baltimore, you know you can park for free near Lexington Market and walk, do not interact with the guys holding and they will leave you be. If you can't handle that, park in the garage.

This 1 (wo)man play was highly entertaining and inspiring. It's a story of self-discovery at a time when racial tension & ignorance were at an all time high. We sat front and center but there is no bad seat in the house. Everyman Theatre has been delivering high quality performances over 30 seasons. They have a professional cadre of actors who perform on a regular basis throughout the season. Additionally, community access & engagement are also cornerstones of this theatre. Each play has "pay what you choose" tickets available so finances won't be a problem. Sad, I'm really late to the party. However, Go! Check out a play, take a class, become a sponsor, and donate!!! You will thank me later.

Are you looking for something new to do in Baltimore? Are you visiting for a short period? If…read moreso...check out this theater!!! They have unique shows some that are interactive (Mission Implausible), some that are just super bizarre but amazing (Year of the Rooster) and if you get a season pass, you get to check them all out and make your own decisions! I mean AMAZING! Their season pass is extremely affordable and every ticket gets a complimentary drink upon arrival: wine or beer. What a treat!!! The staff and the actors are amazingly wonderful, talented people who come out and chat with you after the show and are just all around fun people! And they are in a super trendy area so you can always find something to eat before or after the show and that is always a bonus!!

The Hippodrome in Baltimore puts on great On- and Off- and Pre-Broadway productions. We recently…read moresaw the premier performance run of the national tour of Maybe Happy Ending, a Tony Award® winner for Best Musical. Ok, I'm no theater critic, but here goes. It's sort of a romantic comedy of how life flows from random meetings. Did I mention that the main characters are robots? An interesting twist that lets them highlight feelings and decisions that may be taken for granted, and what love is like the very first time. The stars of this show also performed in the Broadway production, so it was top-notch acting and singing, bold and expressive. The music was stirring, and we especially enjoyed the incorporation of jazz for one character's dialog. The staging was clever, with rotating scenery to change settings, opening out into a seemingly vast vista, with interesting effects that introduce new perspectives. I don't want to give away too much. Some housekeeping: The show was nearly two hours long, with no intermission. The seats are pretty comfy. Folks dressed from casual to night-on-the-town. This show performed for 7-days, so you don't always get a long time get to a particular show. Pro-tip: There's a volunteer-usher program! You work mostly at the start of the show. You see shows for free :-)

This theatre has become our go-to theatre to see Broadway shows. We have seen several shows in the…read morelast three years. The theatre is only a ninety minute drive from our home. It offers the quality shows as seen on Broadway in Manhattan, NYC at a fraction of the cost. The theater is located in downtown Baltimore's Inner Harbor. There is so much to do in the area. There are countless quality restaurants, hotels and venues including Baltimore Orioles baseball. The theatre is within a very short walking distance of the Baltimore harbor. The theatre is a nice sized theatre not being too large or small. Every seat offers good views of the stage with good acoustics. Seating is comfortable and not too tight with adequate leg roon. The interior is absolutely beautiful. The walls are ornately decorated along with soft and warm lighting. Water, mixed drinks, wine, soft drinks and snacks are served before the show begins and during intermission. The theatre is well kept and maintained. The bathrooms are spacious and very clean Ticket prices are affordable and a fraction of the cost of Broadway without sacrificing the talent and quality of Broadway. There is plenty of paid parking available, with a multi-level garage across the street from the theater. Parking will cost approximately $25-$30 for the event/day. For all of you loving the arts, I strongly recommend attending a show at this venue, you won't regret it.

Very witty, comedic, and captivating, this is definitely worth going to see! Great for a family night out or date night. Something different and fascinating!

I got invited by a friend to come see her daughter in the Black Nativity. I was super excited and…read moreinvited other friends to join me. This play was good community theater. The songs got me right into the Christmas spirit and gave me that old time black church gospel vibe. The first half was dedicated to the nativity that we're all familiar with. The Arena Players had their own special twist on the story, but the end result was the same" unto us a child is born. Jesus Christ, Savior of the world. The 2nd half takes you to church with testimonies followed by some good ole gospel music. They had you singing along, clapping your hands, and tapping your feet. They took us to church. The only reason they're not getting 5 stars is because the audio was none existent. No one was one had a mic on, and had I not been sitting in the front row it would have been extremely hard to hear them. It's a real shame because their voices were beautiful. My friends who have seen other production agreed with me, but said the plays they've seen there that they did have mics on. Perhaps they had some technical difficulties. I hope they fix that before their next production in January. They also have a Youth Theater program for ages 4.5 to 18. I believe the program is on Saturdays and there is an application and fee attached. Check out their website if you're interested https://www.arenaplayersinc.com.
