Jonathan Spector reaped both critical acclaim and audience adulation with the Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of his preternaturally prescient comic drama, Eureka Day. Now the widely produced play, its finger firmly on the pulse of the present, comes “home” to Washington’s Theater J, where the playwright was for some time an intern and where a […]
The puppeteering and filmmaking duo known as Alex & Olmsted, recipients of international recognition and a solid handful of Jim Henson Foundation grants for past work, return to Baltimore Theatre Project with their latest creation, intriguingly titled Really Quite a Lot of Mechanisms. The new piece–which blends a variety of puppets with an array of […]

From February 26th through March 1st, the theatrical wizard of witty wordplay, Oscar Wilde, will be back on display in what is undoubtedly his best-known and best-beloved piece of stagecraft, The Importance of Being Earnest.
