A BIG FUTURE FOR BALTIMORE CENTER STAGE: Stevie Walker-Webb and Ken-Matt Martin have both signed three-year extensions, as we welcome our new Board President Chrissy M. Thornton!

This new exciting leadership trio will lead us into a new era while continuing the bold artistic vision and community-centered leadership that have made BCS such an exciting force in Baltimore.

And the numbers are speaking, too: single-ticket revenue has more than doubled since Stevie’s arrival. But beyond the numbers, artists are choosing Baltimore. Audiences are showing up. And BCS is becoming a place where some of the most exciting voices in the country want to create.

The future is bright and we cannot wait to share it with you.

After bringing Emmy-winning talent such as Matthew Weiner and Lena Waithe to Charm City, Artistic Director Stevie Walker-Webb wants to build his legacy with Baltimore Center Stage.
