Maria Gabriela Aldana, 39, founder of Neighborhood Voices and Queer Stories
In her words: “I haven’t really been officially out of the closet as a bisexual woman. I have multiple identities and it’s a lot to juggle. That’s why I focus on intersections of race and sexual orientation.
Even if you never read a “Dick and Jane” book, you probably can conjure one up in your head: an illustrated reading primer with simplistic “see Spot run” sentences, starring an equally simplistic white, middle class, suburban nuclear family.
Well, playwright Noah Diaz, currently earning his MFA at the Yale School of Drama, has imagined a more complex and interesting future for the Dick and Jane of these anodyne books.
In his “Richard & Jane & Dick & Sally,” now making its world premiere at Baltimore Center Stage, Dick and Jane have grown up, and grown apart. Throughout a darkly comic 90-minute, no-intermission production, they struggle with fear, loneliness and epic failures to communicate.

Jefferson A. Russell, 53, actor
As a member of the Everyman Theatre’s resident company, I have steady work and an artistic home.
“Murder on the Orient Express,” first a popular paperback and later multiple star–studded movies, has always been fun, gorgeous nonsense. The lavish staging now at Everyman is no different, despite the inherent handicap of bringing a complex, many-character mystery to stage.
The production sparkles with high-energy performances, witty banter and beautiful sets. But keeping track of so many characters and their alibis is almost impossible, and the mystery’s solution doesn’t make much sense, as you probably already know if you’ve read the book or seen one of the movies.

Judy Tallwing, 74, is an artist.
In her words: “Sometimes the ideas for my paintings come to me in a dream. I work with oils, so it’s not unusual for me to have five or six paintings going at once. I have a thing about starting paintings and not wanting to wait for them to dry.

Mark Osteen, 65, is co-founder Baltimore Jazz Alliance and vice president Baltimore Chamber Jazz Society.
In his words: “When you go to a jazz performance, it’s a different show every night. Art is unfolding before your eyes in that second. It’s never going to come back again. You’re catching art on the fly. You get to see musicians and artists working together to create something bigger than they are.
