Baltimore Waltz, by Paula Vogel
The Baltimore Waltz follows a brother and sister who flee a frightening medical diagnosis by embarking on a fantastical trip across Europe. A third actor plays the quirky characters they encounter, including the Little Dutch Boy (at age 50) and Harry Lime, from the classic movie The Third Man. This is a play about processing grief. It’s about the love between brothers and sisters.
"People who are grieving when they come to see the play, tell me that it’s a way to get in touch with their joy. And there’s a lot of joy in grief, there’s a lot of celebration to grief, there’s a lot of comedy in grief.” – Paul Vogel
