ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence creates space for teens to confront gun violence by creating new works of theatre that will spark critical conversations and inspire meaningful action in communities across the country. Their mission is to promote playwriting as a tool for self-expression and social change, harnessing this generation’s spirit of activism and providing a platform for America’s playwrights of tomorrow to discover and develop their voices today.

On Mon, Oct 6 across the country, The Clarice will join theaters, schools and community groups for staged readings of six new 10-minute plays by teen writers confronting gun violence, selected by a committee of renowned playwrights out of plays received in a national call for submissions. The plays will be read by students from the Center for the Visual and Performing Arts at Suitland High School.

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.
