BALTIMORE

Milestone? Insight? Critical Choice? Crisis Point? Opportunity? Misfortune? Which one changed you?

A ShortBurst® collaborative theatre piece that explores inequity and human indignity on a community-wide scale, highlighted through a series of personal defining moments - the time your beloved first grade teacher told you, “You're a great kid, but you'll never be a singer, that's for sure!” - or the time your mom picked you up from your first day at theatre camp, and blithely shouted to the teacher, for all the world to hear, “Did he drive you crazy today the way always does me?”

Little observations can have huge and devastating, lifelong effects. “Baltimore” compares a troubled Los Angeles with a troubled Baltimore and how the prejudice prevalent in both are macrocosmic reflections of the microcosms of our personal lives.

Supported in part by grants from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, and by the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission.
