Welcome to Kwame Kwei-Armah's first season as Artistic Director--that is, the first where the choice of plays and players has stemmed from his own heart and mind--and CENTERSTAGE's 50th Anniversary Season. At its core, next season's selection of great classics and exciting new plays revolve around the notion of Conversation.
Locally and nationally, civically and artistically, our aim is to be a focal point for art as a catalyst for debate. We hope that when you leave a show, whether you have loved it or not, you will have been exposed to an idea, an emotion, or an experience that will stay with you long after you have left the auditorium.
“Plays, old and new, were chosen not just for the value of the lines spoken onstage, but also for their potential to generate a broader dialogue on various issues. By the end of next season, it may seem as if the plays themselves are conversing with each other.”
—The Baltimore Sun
