Recent Events:

BUMP and Baltimore Theatre Project presented a free reading of "Spark" on November 12th at 7:00pm. The new play by Caridad Svich is about a family of sisters who live in North Carolina, one of whom is a returning veteran from a recent war.

The presentation was part of the national script reading scheme developed to honor US war veterans, shed light on the plight of female veterans in particular, and to raise increased awareness for their stories by NoPassport theatre alliance & press.

HOW ABOUT A CUSTOM MADE PLAY?

Consider commissioning BUMP to explore a project, community concern, or classroom need that could benefit from a theatrical exploration. We can create a custom play to explore any theme or topic. Past explorations have delved into grief, forgiveness, aging, domestic violence, and the health care system. Celebrate an organizational milestone or a life-event with an artistic presentation inspired by your story. Read more on the Baltimore Project page.
