The Strand is the only brick-and-mortar theater in Baltimore dedicated solely to supporting and amplifying womxn's voices on stage and off! We invite you to join us in celebrating our commitment to putting womxn at the center of the creative process!


A theater founded to combat gender injustice cannot ignore human injustice. As the world faces unprecedented times during this global pandemic, incidents of hate and domestic terrorism continue to brutalize Black and Brown people across the globe. The Strand Theater Company stands in solidarity with our beloved Baltimore community as we seek justice for Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and all people oppressed by systems of racism. We continue to remain committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in our company. We stand with our community in our efforts to learn more and do more to impact social change.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) - Strand Theater Company

The Strand Theater Company is closely monitoring all developments related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and we take this and any other health-related concern very seriously. The Strand will monitor updates from the local, state, and federal agencies – such as the Maryland Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), for the latest information on this disease. In this case, any  decisions and plans around closures or show cancellations will be led by the federal government with assistance from state emergency management officials and communicated to Strand stakeholders via email, on our website and posted on our theater doors. 

Welcome to Season 13!
Strong, smart, subversive

Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon
Directed by Erin Riley

A sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set two years after the novel ends, MISS BENNET continues the story, only this time with bookish middle-sister Mary as its unlikely heroine. Mary is growing tired of her role as dutiful middle sister in the face of her siblings’ romantic escapades. When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love.

Drowning Girls 

Daniela Vlaskalic, Beth Graham, Charile Tomlinson
Directed by Emilie Zelle Holmstock

Bessie, Alice, and Margaret have two things in common: they are married to George Joseph Smith, and they are dead. Surfacing from the bathtubs they were drowned in, the three breathless brides gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. Reflecting on the misconceptions of love, married life, and the not-so-happily ever after,  The Drowning Girls is both a breathtaking fantasia and a social critique, full of rich images, a myriad of characters, and lyrical language.

3/26 - 4/11, 2021
Man of God 

by Anna Moench
Directed by Elizabeth Ung

During a mission trip to Bangkok, the four members of a Korean Christian girls’ youth group discover that their revered pastor has hidden a camera in their hotel bathroom. Their communal rage and disillusionment fuel increasingly violent revenge fantasies amidst the no-holds-barred neon bubblegum sex-tourism mecca of Bangkok. MAN OF GOD is a funny feminist thriller about that moment when girls realize the male gaze has been watching all along—and decide they’re definitely gonna do something about it.

4/30 - 5/16, 2021
The Most Massive Woman Wins

by Madeleine George
Directed by Nicolle Mullins

Challenging, brutal and hilarious, four women of various shapes and sizes sitting in the waiting room of a liposuction clinic explore their perceptions of body image. The women reveal their experiences dealing with their weight issues through monologues, short scenes, and even schoolyard rhymes. From painful childhood memories to frustrations with the opposite sex, these experiences both haunt and empower these women as they imagine their way to a new vision of themselves as beautiful and whole.

6/4 - 6/20, 2021
Notes from the Field

by Anna Deavere Smith
Directed by Christen Cromwell

One of the most hailed and provocative theatre artists of our time, Anna Deavere Smith, leads a new installation of powerful first person storytelling in Notes From the Field. Urgent and inspiring, it depicts the personal accounts of students, 
parents, teachers and administrators caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline.
Investigating a justice system that pushes minors from poor communities out of the classroom and into incarceration, Notes From the Field shines a light on a lost generation of American youth.
