Things to do in Baltimore this week 5/7/18

You might find this hard to believe, but I’m not doing much this week. Instead I will encourage you to do things so that I can live vicariously through you. If you haven’t gotten over to Single Carrot Theatre to see their version of PETER PAN yet, you are seriously missing out. Go see it! Also, Incredibly Dead! from the Baltimore Rock Opera Society opens this week and it is a MUST see. Get it on it, people! Sunday is Mother’s Day so make sure you get your reservations in so you can treat your Mom to brunch or dinner.

Single Carrot Theatre
2600 North Howard Street Suite 1200, Baltimore
Neverland is back like you’ve never seen it before in this modern take on a classic childhood story. From playwright Joshua Conkel (MilkMilkLemonade, Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events) comes a brand new version of Peter Pan, adapted in collaboration with Baltimore’s LGBTQ+ residents and service organizations. Peter and Wendy must face down murderous pirates and the island’s perils while grappling with questions of gender, sexuality, and performative identity. Familiar fantasy and true stories from Baltimore’s LGBTQ+ community blend as those who have been rejected and devalued build a home for themselves and each other: a stronghold against normalcy where Peter, the Darlings, and all the Lost Boys can be themselves. World premiere!

Mothers w/ Smoke Bellow and Haint Blue at Metro Gallery
7PM – ?
Metro Gallery
1700 N Charles St, Baltimore
Mothers began as the solo project of Athens, Georgia-based visual artist Kristine Leschper while she studied printmaking at the Lamar Dodd School of Art. A self-taught songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Leschper’s earliest musical influences span a great swath of early aughts rock and folk, such as Interpol, Sufjan Stevens, Joanna Newsom, The Microphones, and Neutral Milk Hotel; she later developed a love for experimental music, math rock, and noise artists. As a result, her earliest demos exhibit a sense of striking catharsis under non-traditional song structures, which flirt between strength and vulnerability and are often quite linear in form.
