CharmPass: One Ride, Many Baltimores

A bus moves through the city and passengers come and go—child, worker, widow, stranger—each carrying a different map of the same streets. History passes outside your window, close enough to touch. The person beside you becomes a portal. The ride becomes a reckoning. And somewhere between stops, Baltimore starts to emerge: not as one place, but as many.

Inheritance Theater Project presents an original performance by and for the people of Baltimore.

Over the past 11 months, over 500 Baltimoreans across neighborhoods and generations have come together to share stories, make art, and build relationships across lines of difference. From those conversations, a central question has emerged: How are we connected across the many different Baltimores?

CharmPass brings those voices, questions, and lived experiences to the stage—offering an opportunity to reflect on the city we share and the one we are still shaping together.

There are 3 performances in 2 different locations:

1. Saturday, May 2 | 2:00 PM |📍 Baltimore Center Stage, 700 N Calvert St
2. Saturday, May 2 | 7:30 PM |📍 Baltimore Center Stage, 700 N Calvert St
3. Sunday, May 3 | 3:00 PM | 📍 Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh, 2001 Liberty Heights Ave

🎉 Post-Show Conversation & Celebration

Each performance will be followed by a 15 min talkback with the creative team and local community collaborators to deepen the dialogue.

Immediately following the final performance on Sunday, May 3, join us at Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh for a community celebration. Together, we’ll:

• Celebrate the full journey of the project
• Honor the partners and participants who made this work possible
• Create space for connection across communities

All are welcome!
