If you're a theatre buff and you want more live acting in your life, beyond what the multiple student acting groups offer on campus once every couple of months, Baltimore is a good place to be.
At any point in time, there are always both large-scale shows and smaller pieces being performed in various venues across the city.
You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, a musical about the boy in the yellow and black shirt and his dog Snoopy, is playing at the Catonsville Dinner Theatre through this weekend at 7 p.m.
Not into musicals? Check out American Buffalo by David Mamet at Centerstage — The Head Theatre.
Mamet's understanding of the psychology of capitalism is featured throughout this story, which centers around a trio of characters who plot to steal a rare coin from a pawn shop, but they are thwarted by their own selfishness.
This show runs from Nov. 2 through Dec. 11 at 2, 7 or 8 p.m. depending on the day. Check the website for details on a specific day and for purchasing tickets.
If longer theatre pieces aren't your thing, check out The Baltimore Improv Group. They run shows every few weekends and bring their audiences to tears through their hilarious skits and spoofs.
They are running a double special this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Strand Theater.
Although it may not seem like it at times, theatre thrives in Baltimore. Catch a cab or use the Charm Circulator to see a show and experience the magic of live theatre.
