You won’t want to miss this surreal, silly, surprising night of stories from the sixth dimension. 100% free theater (bar tab is on you though).

These events will be hosted at Liam Flynn’s Ale House, 22 W. North Avenue, and are free and open to the public. No tickets are necessary, but please arrive a bit early to buy a beverage and snag a primo seat.
On April 22, at 7 pm, UnSaddest Factory presents a reading of A Day By Yourself by Lola Pierson, which follows two women as they formulate the often arbitrary boundaries between secrets, sentimentality, and intimacy. Based on actual events in the lives of the actors in the show, A Day By Yourself explores what it means to be present in one’s own life. Probably you will cry, but only if you’ve ever made a terrible decision. This exciting new play features Sophie Hinderberger, Naomi Kline, Cricket Arrison, Sarah Lloyd, and Jessie Hughes.

Somehow a very “Baltimore” story of urban reuse—since first it had to be preceded by 30 years of abuse, neglect, decay, and bird poop. Wonderful set of photographs accompany the account on “Ditty’s” very stylish and international blog, Pret a Voyager. Check it all out. (The picture, by the way, is the former American Brewery in Baltimore.)
