WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
When elementary school teacher Anna acquires a mysterious illness, her brother Carl whisks her away to Europe in search of a secret cure. While Carl conducts cloak and dagger routines to procure black market medication, Anna indulges in all sensual pleasures as if each day is her last. Paula Vogel's 1992 Obie award-winning play, The Baltimore Waltz is a funny and touching tribute to her brother, who died of AIDS in 1988.
Featured in the cast are David Marshall Grant (the original Broadway cast of Angels in America, and many films including the recent Stepford Wives), Kristen Johnston (the recent Aunt Dan and Lemon, Much Ado About Nothing for the NYSF in Central Park and TV's Third Rock from the Sun) and Jeremy Webb (Tabletop at American Place Theatre).
Added performances: 12/22 at 3pm; 12/27 at 8pm; and 1/2 at 7pm.
No performances: 12/24, 12/25 and 12/31
