In the 1830s, Baltimore was one of the first cities in America to establish medical schools, and doctors needed dead bodies for the students to dissect and study. And so they turned to ‘Resurrection Men’ like Frank for a steady, fresh, supply. This is his story…

Poe died in Baltimore in 1849. One of the poet’s last great works was “Eureka”, on the very nature of our universe…But did he write it? Somewhere in the wilds of Perry Hall, Maryland, a group discovers the truth the night a silver saucer crashes in their neighborhood…

by Mark Redfield

For decades, Mobtown has long been notorious for “The Block” on Baltimore Street, a collection of sex shops, porn theaters, and ancient burlesque houses. What happens when two enterprising entrepreneurs decide to cut-out-the-middle-man and make their own films in 1968?  Why, murder, of course!

 

~ EVERY THEATRE HAS A GHOST

Joseph Hatchett as "The Director", Sarah Bell Joyce as "The Young Actress", Donna Fox as "The Stage Manager", Jazz Jackson as "The Young Actor", Tony Tsendeas as "The Seasoned Actor", Mark Redfield as "The Character Actor", ??? as "The Ghost"

It’s a fact that all theaters are haunted, and the Baltimore Theatre Project is no exception. But who puts on a better show in 2024? A traveling group of players opening a new play on Preston Street, or the spirits that haunt the theatre, and claim the opening night date for themselves?
