I've never been disappointed by a show at Center Stage. Seating in both theaters is intimate, ushers are friendly. The productions always take some risk- be it comedy or drama. The new director, Kwame rocks!

Nice for a night out...small, intimate. Performances are good to excellent. Not too expensive for live theatre- seating is a bit close....but ok. Will go again....

We were long time subscribers to Center Stage who let our subscription lapse for a couple of years because of steep price increases and a confusing set of plan options. Somehow or another it started to feel that Center Stage had lost it's way a bit. Although ticket prices remain considerably more expensive than what we had grown accustomed to,... More

I have been a subscriber since the 80's.I would recommend it to travelers.Varied types of place with two very different theaters. The sets are fabulous,the acting superb. They have a new artistic director from London who had great vision and already has given so much attention and energy to Center Stage.He has great vision!!

We decided to give it another chance last night and saw Whipping Man. It was one of the best theatre performances we've ever seen in Baltimore. Looking at the plays scheduled for next year, it seems like... More

No longer have a season subscription to Center Stage, but always find one or two interesting plays to attend each year. The acting is always excellent, sets great, and creative costumes add to the performances. Both theatres are intimate and you can see well from any seat in the house.Just saw THE WHIPPING MAN and it was excellent-provocative and entertaining.... More
