The tale of what happened in the hotel room next to the hotel room where Ann was whisked out of the bed and into the Manhattan night by King Kong because there’s always a backstorv. Myron Siegel is a low-end Broadway producer who desperately wants to be high end. The trouble is, he has, for his entire career, been sabotaged by his arch-rival, who is ultra-famous for making movies about scary jungle creatures. That producer’s father and Myron’s father were also rivals back in the day and the rivalry has lived on. As the play opens, Myron has just learned that the rival producer has booked a theatre directly across from the theatre where Myron’s potential bonanza Foxy Felicia is about to open. Nobody on the Rialto knows what he’s up to, but it’s big, really, really big! Myron gathers his entourage – his sassy mother, his gangster henchman, his Hungarian backer and his wide-eyed niece straight off the bus from Buffalo – and concocts a plan to find out what the mystery show is all about. He discovers the show is about a monkey, a very large monkey. As the story unfolds, the seven doors on the set fly open and slam shut constantly, there’s mistaken identity, pies in the face, deceit, underhandedness, and even a couple of romances along the way. You have all the ingredients of a crazy, fast-paced farce, where every moment is cleverly and meticulously coordinated with the events depicted in the 1933 movie.

Tickets: $11.50. For more information click here.

Hot L Baltimore at the Greenbelt Arts Center, Oct 3-18

Hot L Baltimore at the Greenbelt Arts Center, Oct 3-18

The Greenbelt Arts Center presents:
Hot L Baltimore
by Lanford Wilson
directed by Seth Ghitelman

October 3 – 18, 2025

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

Lanford Wilson’s The Hot L Baltimore introduces us to a memorable cast of characters residing in a crumbling Baltimore hotel, their lives as frayed as the lobby’s worn carpet. A young prostitute named “the Girl” plies her trade, while Mr. Morse, a bewildered old man, yearns for a visit from his estranged daughter. With the hotel’s demolition looming, they and the other residents grapple with an uncertain future. Wilson masterfully blends humor and pathos, as seen in the scene where the residents, facing eviction, share a makeshift meal, finding solace and fleeting joy in their shared predicament. This play feels especially relevant today, as America seems increasingly unwilling to address the needs of its most vulnerable citizens. The struggles of the residents of the Hot L Baltimore serve as a mirror to contemporary issues like homelessness, poverty, and the growing gap between the haves and have-nots.

Tickets: $24 General Admission, $22 Seniors/Military, $12 Student/Youth. Buy tickets here.
