Baltimore Fave Anne Tyler Publishes New Novel This Week
Anne Tyler’s newest novel, Vinegar Girl, retells the story of The Taming of the Shrew–which just happens to be, as Tyler told the Washington Post, her least favorite Shakespeare play.
Backstage with the BSO’s Canine Celebrities
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the Folger Theatre put on A Midsummer Night’s Dream last weekend. Among the play’s eight actors, one walked on four legs–perhaps following in the Baltimore Shakespeare Factory, which employs homeless cats and dogs in its productions, the BSO decided it needed a dog star of its own.
Tour the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company New Headquarters
From Pigtown Design – The Baltimore Architecture Foundation, where I am Board Chair, frequently gives tours of buildings which are still in the construction phase. One of our Board members arranged for us to tour the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company’s “new” headquarters, which is actually a building that’s more than a century old!
The building was used as a bank for about the first 100 years and then it was renovated and became a series of progressively worse nightclubs before it was finally shuttered. The most jaw-dropping thing about the space is its incredible ceiling.

Homeless Animals Star in Baltimore Shakespeare Productions
If you go see Baltimore Shakespeare Factory‘s production of Richard III this week, keep an eye out for the handsome pit bull/terrier mix in a supporting role as Richard’s pet. That’s Jazz, and he’s looking for a home.

The Annex Theater presents Macbeth
A perennial summer event in many places is outdoor Shakespeare. Most famously, New York’s Shakespeare in the Park brings Hollywood and Broadway A-listers into Central Park for free (good luck getting tickets) performances of the Bard’s works. Where I grew up, the local community theatre group still does their own take on Shakespeare every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day as well. This season, The Annex Theater company has decided to take on a summer Shakespeare production as well, but rather than performing outside, they’re settling into their new digs in The Chicken Box—a quaint new spot that used to house New York Fried Chicken on Charles Street, but which will now be the theatre company’s new home.
