ABOUT THE SHOW...

Baltimore Waltz follows siblings Anna and Carl on their hilarious and heart-wrenching romp around Europe. Written in 1989, a year after playwright Paula Vogel lost her brother to AIDS, Vogel satirizes the disease and imagines a trip with her brother that never got to happen. Grief is offset with comedy, and the result is a surrealist, sultry show that grapples with illness, loss, and love.
