White Rabbit Presents MEREDITH'S RING & ANONYMOUS At 6/17 Baltimore Benefit

White Rabbit Theatre and Cuchipinoy Productions proudly present Meredith's Ring by Andrew Rothkin and Anonymous by Rodney E. Reyes, two one-act plays on love, loss and the parent-child relationship, directed by Andrew Rothkin and Taylor Keith, respectively. The poignant pieces will be the main attraction of the June 17 Baltimore Benefit. They will also be a part of the world premiere of the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity in New York City.

Anonymous

Can you ever be anonymous when it comes to your own child?

A girl goes to a police station to anonymously give up her newborn child, but receives much more than she bargained for. What is the price we ultimately pay when we choose to be anonymous?
Meredith's Ring

Nobody seemed to understand Meredith, the strange new girl who showed up at school one day.

But A.J. didn't have to understand.

He loved.

And sometimes love is enough.

Anonymous stars Thomas Blewitt, Jian Huang and Vanessa Ramalho.

Meredith's Ring stars Alexander Scally and Shelly Work.

This one night only event will be an unforgettable night of theatre, live music, tasty nibbles, raffles, door prizes and a silent auction. Proceeds will help defer the transportation costs of both companies during the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity as well as supporting CEDARS with a portion of the evening's proceeds.

With the musical talents of Kathryn Quinlan and sahffi! Additional musical guests to be announced soon.
