Gala Co-Chairs DR. NIA BANKS and JILL PRATT invite you to an evening of celebration, fun and adventure showcasing Made in Maryland

Saturday, June 7, 2025

Honoring trailblazing Baltimore-born Actress and Playwright Anna Deavere Smith 

Truly unlike any gala in town, the BCS Annual Gala showcases exclusive performances, experiences, and adventures produced by our staff of skilled – and wildly creative – producers, artisans, and craftspeople. 

The evening will begin with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by a world-class performance featuring Nygel D. Robinson (co-creator of Mexodus) and Grammy Award-winning songstress Heather Headley, and then unfold into private dining rooms and bars. After dinner, guests will be invited to explore choose-your-own adventure entertainment through every inch of our historic building, while enjoying refreshments, dancing, and a silent auction.

Baltimore Center Stage’s annual Gala benefits the theater’s artistic, learning, and civic programs, and gathers in celebration of our valued community leaders and advocates for the arts. Join us for a night that will showcase the best of Made in Maryland by our staff, producers, artisans, and crafts people.

 

Thank you for considering a gift in support of our programs.
