Join us in archiving lived experience into civic action at the Legislative Forum Theatre Festival on May 3rd at Baltimore Center Stage. In collaboration with Joy Baltimore, independent artist Lolah, and Project PLASE, Baltimore Center Stage has crafted a powerful performance about housing insecurity, homelessness, and abandoned lots. Together, we have created a community acting troupe that has spent the last 8 weeks crafting a piece embodying the collective truths and lived experiences of these challenges using Legislative Forum Theatre. On May 3rd starting at 12:30 pm, we invite YOU to join us in supporting this cause by engaging with this interactive performance that will homelessness and explore innovative solutions through an electrifying performance. Tickets are free and open to the public. We encourage everyone to come, take action, and be part of the change our community needs! (fb)
