EXTENDED SECOND RUN! February 22, 23, 24, March 1, 2, 3
H&H Building – 405 W Franklin Street, 5th Floor
Inspired by a true story, Peter Shaffer’s Equus delves deep into the complex relationships linking worship, myth, and sexuality.
Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses with a metal spike in a violent fit of passion. To the boy’s parents it is a gruesome mystery; for Dysart it opens a psychological Pandora’s box that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. As Alan struggles to be free of his demons, he must relive the events of that terrible night.
The Baltimore Annex Theater is proud to present their vision of Equus at the 5th Dimension. Using an intimate setting, puppet-costume hybrids, and an affinity for the absurd, director Mason Ross highlights the unknown dark comedy in Peter Shaffer’s well-known classic. This production will be a harsh and satirical commentary about humanity’s sanctimonious dissection of its own sacrosanct desires.
Be advised Equus contains strong language, adult themes, and nudity.
Doors at 7:30pm, Show at 8pm

The All Mighty Senators’ live shows, fronted by the charismatic Landis Expandis and guitar-god Warren Boes, have remained one of the most revered on the East Coast, and have established AMS with a diverse and rabid following, ranging from indie-philes to rave cadets to festival freaks.

With multi-media projections, bellydancers and top-notch musicianship, Telesma delivers an ecstatic performance that brings audiences en masse to their feet.
The combination of these two exciting bands is amped up even more by special guest Swampcandy, with its powerful dirty, bump-and-grind, moaning-and-groaning blues roots music.

From In-Flight Theater
Naomi’s Flight is a one woman aerial performance about aging and elder care that takes place on three asymmetrical suspended steel sculptures. Written and performed by Mara Neimanis, directed by Bryce Butler, sculptures by Tim Scofield, Naomi’s Flight reveals the love story of George, an 80 year old care giver, and his wife Naomi who has diabetes and been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Naomi’s Flight is a powerful, personal, poetic, and humorous, journey into the courageous and upside down world of day to day living with these epidemic diseases and the inverted healthcare system that is in place to do so. Neimanis combines text with aerial choreography in creating environments, characters, and time.
