Hey guys! Sup?! I had the most awesome, freakiest experience last night. Actually, it was a good kind of freaky and I think you should get your freak on too! What am I talking about? Glad you asked! I think you all should come and, well, you know, like chill with the cast and crew of Freaky Friday presented by The Maryland Theatre Collective at The Chesapeake Arts Center in Brooklyn Park. I guarantee you will laugh,
Theyâre being pulled in a new direction! Quite literally in
all senses imaginable too! Baltimore Theatre Collective, formerly known as The
Purple Light Theatre Company, has progressed into its next phase of life, now
under the auspices of Baltimore Theatre Collective. And just as their first

PURPLE LIGHT!

As the season of summer gets hot underway in Baltimore, Tobyâs Dinner Theatre of Columbia sets to open their production of Hairspray. Entering the second part of the âYou Canât Stop the Beatâ interview series, TheatreBloom sits down with two of the showâs Dynamites, Samantha McEwen Deininger and Renata Hammond, for a chitchat about the production and just what itâs been like to be a part of the show.
You canât stop the beat as it bursts open in all the glory of the 60âs at the Purple Light Theatre Company this summer! Hairspray, the musical of Baltimore, is making a rampant return to the stage with this summer-based company, and bringing the nicest kids in town to the stage. Directed by the companyâs Artistic Director, Tommy Malek, with Musical Direction by Benjamin Nabinger and Nathan Scavilla, the well-loved musical is shaking up local audiences with its spectacular dance routines,
Be careful what you wish for! Or you might just find yourself tumbling into a fairytale at the Purple Light Theatre Company. Of course, all fairytales have happy endings, donât they?

Directed by Tommy Malek with Musical Direction by Benjamin Nabinger, this musical is the companyâs second production;
