Iron Crow Theatre is a Baltimore-based theatre company dedicated to providing a voice for individuals and communities who, through choice or necessity, live outside the mainstream of society. Formed during in 2009, the founding members of Iron Crow produced an evening of theatre, dance and music in honor of Baltimore's Gay Pride celebration. The show, Gay Expectations, held at the University of Baltimore, brought together artists from the community while raising more than $1200 for local charity, Moveable Feast. Inspired by the success of the production, the group decided to form Iron Crow Theatre. "We wanted to add our voices to the already vibrant and thriving theatre scene in Baltimore," adds Artistic Director and Co-Founder, Steven Satta. "Even though we take a special interest in the work of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identified artists," he adds, "our artistic interests and aesthetics are as diverse as our company members." The company is currently in residence at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 811 Cathedral Street.

Iron Crow Theatre functions as a 501(c) (3) under the fiscal sponsorship of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit organization that enables small arts organizations to function more efficiently as businesses.
