My first play of the year and my first time visiting Baltimore Center Stage. It certainly won't be my last. I'm not sure if there's a parking lot of this space, but plenty of street parking with no issues on a Saturday afternoon. clean bathrooms, nice mocktails and coffee at the concession stand. We were in a somewhat small theater, which worked out because every seat was a good one. I'll gladly return!

This 1 (wo)man play was highly entertaining and inspiring. It's a story of self-discovery at a time when racial tension & ignorance were at an all time high. We sat front and center but there is no bad seat in the house. Everyman Theatre has been delivering high quality performances over 30 seasons. They have a professional cadre of actors who perform on a regular basis throughout the season. Additionally, community access & engagement are also cornerstones of this theatre. Each play has "pay what you choose" tickets available so finances won't be a problem. Sad, I'm really late to the party. However, Go! Check out a play, take a class, become a sponsor, and donate!!! You will thank me later.

There is a box office for will call and small bar. The theater is smallish of course but intimate. We sat in the front and realized that it is "tight" up there with little leg room and you are looking right u at the actors on the stage. it was still nice, but for those looking for more room or space from the stage, make a note. We plan to return for the next play!

I contemplated snacks, but decided against in when the line was too long during intermission. I had to choose between snacks and bathroom. GLOWS: The bathroom line is extremely long during intermission. I do feel like it was attempted to solve with making the restrooms unisex, but most ladies still gathered to use the bathroom labeled "women."

Easily the best independent theater in Baltimore from my experience. We've been lucky enough to…read morecatch two plays, The Starlight Barking and The Flower Queen both of which were excellent! We've also been able to attend their David Lynch celebration Wonderful and Strange: A David Lynch Appreciation Festival which was one of the most interesting and lovingly crafted events related to Lynch or any director that I have ever experienced. Bottle Episodes was another great monthly event they ran which featured their awesome group of performers acting out television shows, I only hope one day they'll return as seeing shows like Unsolved Mysteries and GI Joe get acted out this way was extremely fun. The theater isn't huge but does have a clean bathroom and excellent setup for visual effects via projection. There is a lot of passion that goes into the playwriting, acting and musical performances at the Mercury Theater and it's a venue that helps define art in Baltimore.

Drinks were really great and two were included w the ticket price. If u take someone Under 21, they can use the tickets to buy things from the magic store in the theater or drink fantastic mocktails. I can't say enough for the level of entertainment and value for the money. They could charge 100 dollars a ticket and it would still be a deal. I hope to go back again sometime!

There's no bad view in there. We went to see Fences. Great production, actors/ actresses, and costumes. I love the convenient concession, and lavatory inside of the venue. This way, you don't have to step out of the production room. I look forward to attending many more productions here at this location in the near future.

The theater is beautiful - very comfortable and intimate - not a bad seat in the house. They have a couple of bars and some seating areas, which made for an enjoyable intermission. My only (very small) complaint about the theater is that it was hard to find the bathrooms, and we waited a while, because the one women's room we found was a single stall bathroom. I think there was a larger women's room somewhere, but we didn't find it! The play was interesting - I'd never seen a theater adaptation of a Jane Austen novel, and the adaptation was interesting and some of the actors were really great. We had a great time. I was surprised to see and learn that not all of the Company's performances are of Shakespeare - later this season, they have August Wilson's Fences (part of the Baltimore August Wilson Celebration), Shakespeare's The Tempest, A Christmas Carol, and Shakespeare's The Tale of Cymbeline (performed outdoors in Ellicott City). I'll happily return for another performance!

Recently finished Mike Harris' Intro to Improv 101 course (7 week course)- it was a blast. Had fun and learned a lot. As a student you get to go to all BIG's shows for free which is nice, good learning opportunity. They have various types of improv shows every Thurs-Sat nights, been to several and enjoyed them. Highly recommend taking a course or seeing a show. Am now in Michael Furr's standup comedy class which has been amazing so far. Aesthetics wise, it's no luxury theatre (they rely on donations and grants to stay operating, so this is understandable!) but it gets the job done and is homey. Convenient location near a few local bars. Parking Tip: If attending an evening show, get there early if you want to find easy street parking right out front (cheap, pay via kiosk or Parkmobile app). There's a parking garage across the street that's $5 if you tell them you're there for the theatre.

Otherwise, loved this smaller venue that really lets you get up and close to the stage. More and more fantastic artists have been coming through here and not going to some of the other venues in the baltimore area. The drinks are at great prices, which is suprising for a venue and even more surprising for baltimore. Definitely keep up to date with the events that come through here because there's not much advertisement. And the restaurants in the area are within walking distance and great to grab a bite before the show.

I recently attended the 2025 Subscape and was impressed by their ability to offer a free show at such a quality venue. I can't say enough great things about this place. I do want to give a special shout out to the doorman who who informed me that they were at capacity, but ultimately allowed me to enter after I waited for 20 minutes as he confirmed that their staff was able to allow another person in as people started to leave. This place is one of the many reasons why the Baltimore music scene is awesome.
