Shows in Baltimore

Center Stage is Maryland's most important theater company — Baltimore's Tony Award-winning state theater that consistently produces some of the most critically acclaimed theatrical work in the United States and serves as the artistic home of the mid-Atlantic theater community. Its extraordinary track record of developing new American theater and its role as Maryland's official State Theater make it the most culturally significant performing arts institution in Baltimore.

Hippodrome Theatre at the France-Merrick PAC is Baltimore's most important Broadway touring venue — a stunning 2,244-seat Edwardian theater beautifully restored to present the greatest Broadway touring productions for the greater Baltimore-Washington market. Its extraordinary 1914 vaudeville theater design, its central Baltimore location in the emerging arts district, and its consistent programming of major Broadway tours create Maryland's most important Broadway theater experience.

The Lyric Theatre is Baltimore's most beloved historic concert venue — an intimate 2,564-seat 1894 concert hall that has been presenting the finest orchestral, opera, and concert performances in Baltimore for over 125 years. Its extraordinary acoustic properties (the finest concert hall acoustics in Baltimore), its beautiful late-Victorian architecture, and its role as the primary venue for the Baltimore Symphony's downtown performances make it one of the most historically and musically significant concert halls in the mid-Atlantic.

Baltimore's downtown theater district is one of the most historically significant in American theatrical history — a city that served as the pre-Broadway tryout destination for some of America's greatest plays, from Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun to the original tryouts for numerous classic American musicals. Baltimore's extraordinary theater heritage and its growing contemporary theater scene create a performing arts community of unusual depth and historical consciousness.

Modell Performing Arts Center at the Lyric brings Baltimore's most historic concert hall into the contemporary era with major touring concerts alongside its classical programming — presenting artists from Garth Brooks to Alicia Keys in the most intimate large-venue experience in Baltimore. Its extraordinary acoustic properties and its capacity to serve both classical and contemporary audiences create one of the most versatile performance environments in the mid-Atlantic.
