Theatre Project Producing Director Anne Cantler Fulwiler has just announced the season line up for the Baltimore institution's new subscription series. The season will include the return of three popular past Theatre Project performers, Sara Felder of Philadelphia (June Bride), Al Letson of Florida (Essential Personnel, Griot, Summer in Sanctuary) and Vermont's Sandglass Theatre (Richard 3.5: Light Ruminations on Murder), and collaborations with three Maryland companies, Performance Workshop Theater, Quest: Arts for Everyone (with White Box Theater), and VT Dance. Fulwiler says of the line-up 'These six shows exemplify our mission goals to support alternative theater, to assist artists in creating new works, and to introduce that work to an appreciative audience of daring theater-goers.
