Welcome to Charm City Call Board for the week of August 22 - 28, keeping you up to date each week with all that is theater in Baltimore and the region.
Discounts and contest notices are listed first. "On Stage" listings follow in this order: opening this week, in previews, current running productions, closing this week and upcoming productions. Audition and help wanted notices will be next (arranged by date), followed by "Backstage Babble" - news bites, your letters and book/CD recommendations and "Theatre Events" are at the end.

ONSTAGE THIS WEEK!
A five star system will be utilized in order to differentiate between the various levels of success: artistry and entertainment value. This system is not directly numeric, however. That is, a 4 rated show isn't necessarily twice as good as a 2 rated show; neither is a 4 rated show a "B" or an 80%.
