THURSDAY 30

Theater: Lookingglass Alice
See Center Stage perform a unique, family-friendly take on the Lewis Carroll classic.
Ticket prices vary. Nov. 30 – Dec. 31 at Baltimore Center Stage.

Music: Mozart’s Requiem
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s Marin Alsop conducts Mozart’s Requiem throughout the weekend, joined by the University of Maryland Concert Choir. The weekend will include both traditional and Off the Cuff performances, which include a Q&A and, on Saturday, live entertainment and food and drink specials.
Nov. 30-Dec. 2. Ticket prices vary. 

FRIDAY 1

Theater: The Goodies
What’s good about “The Goodies” is that it retells a familiar story from a new perspective. In this case, the all-female cast of color brings new voice to Salem Witch Trials. Join these modern-day women as they recount an event that shook the nation in the late 1600s and lead to the execution of several people. How would this event differ had it occurred in the digital age? This play proves that it’s not so far-fetched to think that history could repeat itself. Material may not be suitable for audiences under the age of 18.
Dec. 1-10. Iron Crow Theater. $15-30. theatreproject.org/the-goodies/
