Max Garner BIO
We are a independent rep company based in Baltimore, Maryland, whose mission is to develop and produce new stage work by local writers and other play-making artists.
"Rapid Lemon"—an anagram of "palindrome"—got its name from the dialogue of an original play called "Sphere", the company's debut production as part of the 2012 DC Black Theatre Festival. "Sphere" was presented at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company that summer and praised emphatically by The Washington Post. "Sphere" was followed by "Marvin's Trial", another new script, workshopped at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and premiered at THEARC in Washington. These early ventures, and the ongoing stewardship of The Variations Project starting in 2014, established Baltimore-based Rapid Lemon Productions as a resident company dedicated to the growth of new theater throughout the region.
We are committed to developing theater art and artists, with particular focus on new writing. We believe in expanding our reach—in the thrill of the untried—in challenging ourselves, each other, and our audiences in the most amazingly rewarding ways we can devise together.

Review: In THE BOOK OF GRACE from Rapid Lemon, a Penchant for Grand Themes and Intoxicating Characters, Outstanding Cast
Playwright Suzan Lori-Parks evidently likes to swing for the fences. In The Book of Grace, now being presented by Rapid Lemon, he is fearless in presenting an extravagantly exaggerated and often violent version of the realities she sees in our country today. Despair seems the only reasonable response – and yet optimism, however irrational, cannot be absolutely extinguished. Parks exhibits an extravagant talent and a penchant for grand themes – and a pervasive if not totally dominant skepticism.

Personality Verging on Personhood: PROXY at Rapid Lemon
One of the things drama does so well is to make us think and feel about the vectors a society is following. And one of the things happening in our society that drama needs to address is our headlong rush into technology with a personality verging on personhood. Proxy is a thoughtful and perceptive consideration of that rush.
