The View Upstairs is a fiercely original, soul-stirring tribute to queer history, community, and resilience. With a lush, genre-blending score by Max Vernon, this boundary-pushing work transports audiences to 1973 New Orleans and into the Upstairs Lounge—a vibrant gay bar and haven for queer joy, chosen family, and radical self-expression.
Inspired by the true story of the deadliest attack on the LGBTQ+ community in U.S. history prior to the Pulse Nightclub tragedy, The View Upstairs reclaims a moment in our collective history many tried to erase. It invites us to gather in solidarity with those we lost, and challenges us to confront what allowed the world to look away.
The View Upstairs presented at the Baltimore Theatre Project as part of our Season of Survival asks what it means to heal, to protect one another, and to endure in the face of violence and erasure.
Don’t miss this haunting, defiant, and life-affirming musical that reminds us survival is not just resistance—it’s remembering, loving, and choosing each other again and again.
Iron Crow Theatre, Baltimore's queer-centric company, will present the DMV premiere of The View at Baltimore Theatre Project, a musical inspired by the 1973 UpStairs Lounge arson attack.
Baltimore’s Theatre Project has announced its 2025–26 season, offering a mix of original works, new interpretations of classics, world premieres, and regional debuts by Resident and Guest Artists. Programming spans theatre, dance, music, opera, puppetry, and multidisciplinary performance.
