Baltimore

Synopsis

Baltimore tells the story of Shelby Wilson, an African-American resident adviser for a group of freshmen at a college in New England. Shelby is focused on rebuilding her résumé after losing her job in the athletics department. But when a racist caricature is drawn on the dorm door of one of her black students, she is forced to reevaluate her naive belief that she lives in a post-racial society, and she must help strive for peace on campus. The play references true events, including the riots in Ferguson, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the deaths of Brown, Martin, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, and Sandra Bland.
