| SALON SERIES: NEVER SAY DIE
by Kimberley Lynne
Launching FPCT's Salon Series, Never Say Die, by Kimberley Lynne is new play exploring the mysteries surrounding the trule life meeting in Baltimore between Charles Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe in 1842, and the slippery jealousies that grow between artists. Simply staged and followed by talkback facilitated by Washington Post journalist, Peter Marks, this is the first in our new program of free readings in support of the development of new work. Funded by a Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts (BOPA) FreeFall grant, this evening is free to the public.
Tickets are free but registration is required: https://forms.gle/zVxnFu2CcqCZBPxP6 | | |

“…thoughtful, affecting…poignant commentary on an era when the cut and color of one’s dress—and of course, skin—determined whom one could and could not marry, sleep with, even talk to in public.” - Variety

| LIPSTICK: A QUEER FARCE BY LANE MICHAEL STANLEY
Directed by Jeff Miller
A Baltimore Premiere Production! Lipstick is a silly, sweet farce with a heart of gold and a drawer full of sex toys. Anna has invited Kelly over for dinner, but is it a date? Or just hanging out? Just in case that wasn’t confusing enough, a cavalcade of visitors crashes their evening - an ex-girlfriend, a BFF, a handyman, a mom, and a parade of potential suitors. Hijinks, of course, ensue, in this play-shaped love letter to the queer community.
*Contains adult material not suitable for children. | BUY TICKETS | |
| PROM FRIGHT COMEDY IMPROV SHOW
Conceived and Directed by Michael Furr
It’s a typical 1980s high school prom in anywhere USA, and everyone is preparing their raddest outfits, feathering their hair, and trying to survive the surprise slasher flick that they are suddenly inside. Someone is killing all the popular kids, and it’s up to the survivors (and the audience) to figure it all out. Not even the cast knows! This evening is performed with a rotating ensemble of actors who pull the audience into a fun and fully spontaneous world of big hair and big improv. Different every time! | BUY TICKETS | |
