The Public Is Invited To Create The Sets At The Strand Theater During Free Fall Community Art Project 10/30

On Friday, October 30th and Saturday, October 31st, 2009 the Strand will open its doors for a Free Fall Community Art Project. All participants will be given a smock, paint brush, and paints and will be offered a piece of the Strand interior wall to create a small mural, doodle, or drawing. The mural created by the community will then be used as the set for the Strand season production of [sic] by Melissa James Gibson in November. All participants will receive a credit in the program as set contributors for their art work. There will be no censorship on the art work. The Strand invites creativity and enthusiasm!..and of course, clothes that can get dirty.

The Strand will once again feature David Keltz, performing as Edgar Allan Poe. David will perform The Tell-Tale Heart, one of Poe's most notable works. David recently received acclaim for his performance of Poe at Theater Project. "We are very excited to once again be part of Free Fall Baltimore. Free Fall is a wonderful and necessary opportunity for the Baltimore community to see art, and provides the artists themselves the means to present it" states Jayme Kilburn, Artistic Director.

The Strand Free Fall Community Art Project will take place on Friday and Saturday (October 30th and 31st) from 7pm-9pm. David Keltz will make a special appearance on October 31st at 11pm. The Hexagon will feature a free dance party on Halloween (next door to the Strand) in conjunction with this event. This event is absolutely free.
