It's time to be brave...again. The Fun Company's hit family show The Young Olympians and the Most Amazingly Awesome Adventure Ever is back by popular demand. In April of 2012 the show by playwright Sarah Shulman made its World Premiere on Maryland Ensemble Theatre's (MET) stage to packed houses and rave reviews. 'The Young Olympians was a serendipitous triumph of words music and performance...take everyone from toddler to grandparent, aunts and uncles, teens and random folk you meet on the street. You'll be glad you did.,' proclaimed Charlie Smith of Want2Dish. Audiences will have the opportunity once again to enjoy the heroic achievement of The Young Olympian's when it returns to the MET stage at the historic FSK Hotel (31 W Patrick) in downtown Frederick for six performances June 21 through the 30.
Questions of art, gender and cross-dressing run rampant through 'Act a Lady,' a thought-provoking comedy now at the Baltimore Theatre Project. The show focuses on six members of a Prohibition-era Midwestern town aiming to put on an 18th century 'fancy dress' play to raise money for charity. But it's not the women who don the elegant gowns and parade around in homemade paste jewels.
