Chesapeake Shakespeare Company (CSC) continues its 20th anniversary season with a brand-new adaptation of the holiday classic, A Christmas Carol.

Starring Jon Bernthal, Wunmi Mosaku, Jamie Hector and Josh Charles, We Own This City was developed by George Pelecanos and David Simon, and directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green. The series chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force and the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city.

Based on the book by Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton, WE OWN THIS CITY chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force and the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.

Even though sometimes funny, even to the extent of farce, and filled with a manic vitality, Jerusalem is not easy theater, but it is infinitely rewarding. It will be surely be one of the most ambitious shows local audiences see in this new year.

St. George's Day in England, the Morning of the county fair, the local drifting soul and pied piper of chaos Johnny "Rooster" Byron stirs the souls of his countrymen to forego the comforts of modern suburban life and raise their spirits in the countryside. His family want to spend the day with him, thugs want to teach him a lesson, the authorities want rid of him, but Rooster just wants more out of life. Having played on the West End and then to Broadway (and back to the West End), Jerusalem is a darkly comic and modern meditation on the spirit of a nation.

Single Carrot Theatre concludes its third season in Baltimore with a well-crafted production of Will Eno's TRAGEDY: A TRAGEDY.

Edward Albee once noted, 'Will Eno is one of the finest young playwrights I've come across.' It's no surprise that following the praise, Eno was selected as a fellow in the Edward F. Albee Foundation. For Eno, that honor was one of many.
