In 2009-10, Centerstage decided to take the plunge and try something that, though they had been pondering it for years, was totally new. The result has been a season of nonstop, almost unprecedented stylistic diversity. And a heck of a lot of activity. On our two stages, by season's end, they'll have hosted 14 different performances, running the gamut from intimate cabarets to a rollicking special-engagement holiday show to a three-week festival of readings (coming in April), alongside six fully staged theatrical productions. If you saw even half of what was put on this year, you saw a season of theater like few in Baltimore's history.

If you've never read Fyodor Dostoyevsky's mammoth classic CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, you're probably still familiar with certain themes and characters that populate this piece of Russian literature. The particularly misguided concept of there being extraordinary humans amongst us that feel they have the right to govern and commit acts of murder because they are 'above the law', and because it is for the good of all mankind, is certainly nothing new to anyone who follows politics, or knows their history. It's at the heart of Dostoyevsky's work, and in Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus's smartly compressed adaptation that point is clearly communicated.
