Budget Cuts and Mental Health; A New Show At Annex Theatre; The Swan at Loch Raven

Budget cuts are piling up on budget cuts in Maryland’s spending plans: some of the reductions Gov. Hogan has proposed extend subtractions made by then Gov. O’Malley three weeks ago.  We talk to a state legislator and mental-health service provider about cuts to public mental health.

Then, an adaptation of a parody of a soap opera:  theater artist Maggie Villegashas adapted the TV soap opera parody "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" for Baltimore’s Annex Theater. Tom Hall talks with Villegas and actress Carly J. Bales.

And we take a visit to the banks of Loch Raven Reservoir to check out the area's wildlife and learn how it inspired a local photographer's book for young readers called, “The Swan at Loch Raven.”
