Hi friends! This one is coming to you while I’m at the beach. I hope you are enjoying those last moments of summer and if you are done with summer and ready for fall I hear you can already get a Pumpkin Spice Latte. The weather is still good this week and there a lots of outdoor concerts and activities to enjoy. Theatre seasons are rolling out their opening shows. I’m seeing Proof by David Auburn at Everyman Theatre on Friday. It’s sold out, sorry, but you have lots of opportunities to go see it! The rest of my week is CRAZY BUSY with work so you probably won’t see much of me. Have fun!

Release party: “Baltimore Revisited”
7PM – 10PM
Red Emma’s Bookstore Coffeehouse
1225 Cathedral St, Baltimore
Join us as we celebrate the release of an essential new anthology on the political and racial economy of urban life in Baltimore! Nicknamed both “Mobtown” and “Charm City” and located on the border of the North and South, Baltimore is a city of contradictions. From media depictions in The Wire to the real-life trial of police officers for the murder of Freddie Gray, Baltimore has become a quintessential example of a struggling American city. Yet the truth about Baltimore is far more complicated—and more fascinating. To help untangle these apparent paradoxes, the editors of Baltimore Revisited: Stories of Inequality and Resistance in a US City have assembled a collection of over thirty experts from inside and outside academia. Together, they reveal that Baltimore has been ground zero for a slew of neoliberal policies, a place where inequality has increased as corporate interests have eagerly privatized public goods and services to maximize profits. But they also uncover how community members resist and reveal a long tradition of Baltimoreans who have fought for social justice.

It’s 1950 and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying “sexual deviants” within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the mainstream American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two All-American couples are forced to stare down the closet door.
