In a single room, three women slip between fantasy and reality, acting out the moments they’re too afraid to live in real life. What begins as playful role-play becomes a raw excavation of longing, connection, and the emotional legacies passed between mothers, sisters, and lovers.

Blending the sharp wit of a romantic comedy with the searching depth of an existential drama, Trinity is a lyrical, layered portrait of womanhood that’s as funny as it is fearless. As NPR so aptly put it, “Waithe’s TV shows and films are powerful empathy engines”—and Trinity brings that same emotional truth to the stage. Directed by BCS Artistic Director Stevie Walker-Webb, you’ll want to see it more than once to catch every subtle shift, every emotional turn, and every truth just beneath the surface.

Vagabond Players Brings ARSENIC AND OLD LACE to the Stage
February 20 – March 15, 2026

Murder, mayhem, and impeccable farce take center stage as Vagabond Players brings Joseph Kesselring’s classic ARSENIC AND OLD LACE to the stage Feb. 20 through March 15, 2026. Directed by Katie Sheldon in her Vagabond Players directorial debut, the production marks the third offering of the company’s milestone 110th season.

Meet Aunt Abby and Aunt Martha Brewster—two of the sweetest homicidal maniacs you’ll ever encounter. Only please don’t let them talk you into a glass of their homemade elderberry wine, because you probably won’t live to regret it! As the corpses begin to pile up, so does nephew Mortimer Brewster’s panic—not just in trying to fend off the police, but also his prodigal brother, Jonathan, a murderous gangster with a scary new face and a body count that rivals his aunts’.
It may not seem hilarious that a dozen men succumb to one of the most unlikely murder plots ever perpetrated in Brooklyn, N.Y., but ARSENIC AND OLD LACE remains one of American theatre’s most enduring comedies, which exposes the insanity and dark secrets that lie hidden beneath the veneer of an ordinary, folksy all-American family.

ARSENIC AND OLD LACE runs Feb. 20 – March 15, 2026, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. And check out a special “Thursdays on Broadway” performance March 12 at 8 p.m. when all tickets are just $12.
For tickets, cast and show info visit www.vagabondplayers.org. Special discounts and group rates are available online.

Located in the heart of Baltimore’s historic Fells Point, Vagabond Players continues its tradition of bold, intimate theater that sparks conversation and celebrates artistic freedom. Now in its 110th season, the company remains a cornerstone of Baltimore’s performing arts scene.

Stonewall Sports Baltimore will host a spring bocce league on Saturday afternoons from April 11 – May 16.

Registration is from March 1 – March 20 and starts at $40 for the season. The league is geared towards beginners and is an opportunity to build community and lasting friendships.

Kari Miller - To Whom It May Concern: Miller explores the beauty, joy and complexities in parenting a child with a disability while working in collaboration with her daughter who has Down syndrome. To Whom It May Concern is an ongoing conversation surrounding the impact of the history of institutionalizing individuals with an intellectual and developmental disability. This immersive installation dives deeper into educational policy, practices and experiences with audio interviews from teachers, parents and former students that have a disability.

Electra Lowe - Made From Scratch: Lowe untangles the labor and rituals of home to reveal the hidden threads of gender, labor, and consumption. Using tactile materials, symbolic foods, and altered domestic objects, the installation critiques the patriarchal structures embedded in everyday rituals—specifically, who eats, who serves, and who is seen.
