Now, the not-so-good news:
As the cause and details of the upcoming Friday the 13th event have spread, so has interest in participation to save Baltimore’s 1939 theatre. The single night event has snowballed to encompass the entire weekend with a mixture of music, film and performances of many varieties!
As if an audition for the city and state, these events feature the various types of entertainment that have been proposed by supporters of the theatre transition to a community owned/operated non-profit.
Friday night currently features an evening of music groups, hosted by local radio legends Rob Timm and Alex Cortright (WRNR). Currently on the bill: The Payola Reserve, Wye Oak, US Royalty, and the John Hardy Boys.
