WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Hotel Baltimore used to be the swankiest place in town - now it has a date with the wrecking ball. Eviction notices just went out to its residents, who live on the fringes of society and call the seedy hotel home. This acclaimed play from the author of Balm in Gilead is filled with everyday humanity - unexpectedly intimate and moving.

2010/2011 Subscription Series packages start at $135. Dinner/Theatre and Wine Series packages are also available. Individual ticket prices TBA.
