Performing Arts : Featured Stories

This weekend may be summer's biggest holiday with 4th of July celebrations happening all over town, but tomorrow's the big day for Bmore Media! We're hosting our second Happy Hour at Nick's Fish House! Come down to South Baltimore meet the Bmore staff and pitch us your best story ideas!

Baltimore will take center stage this week, becoming the locus of the nation's arts communities as it hosts the Americans for the Arts Half-Century Summit. With the spotlight trained on the arts, we got our camera to discover what makes Bmore such a great place for every artists.

And while you're at it bid a fond farewell to the expensive sets, the concert halls, the tuxedoed gents, the bejeweled, perfectly coiffed, mink-wearing ladies and every other opera stereotype. Rhymes with Opera, a young company launching a three city tour in Baltimore, wants to bring opera to streets, the warehouses, and any other place you wouldn't expect it.

If you don't -- or even if you do -- you'll enjoy our Q&A with this Baltimore-based actress and playwright. She may have the mien of a pixie but she's dead serious when it comes to her craft.

What do you get when you combine a natural disaster of historic proportions with a community of people anxious to help the best way they can? A new Baltimore-based organization with philanthropic plans for Haiti and Baltimore.

John Forte has lived the American Dream rising to fame as a member of Hip-Hop's groundbreaking group The Fugees. But in his pursuit of fame Forte admits he lost his way. At TEDx Mid-Atlantic, Forte told his story and then stopped to share it with Bmore.

Storytellers come in all shapes and sizes. They tell stories of love and loss, despair and triumph. Seldom, however do they tell their tales while soaring through the air.
