John Jay High School Theater Workshop to Present 'The Hot L Baltimore'

John Jay High School Theater Workshop, under the direction of William Friedman and the production of Steven Morse, will proudly present The Hot L Baltimore, by Pulitzer Prize winner Lanford Wilson, the school district announced.

The play takes a funny and poignant look at a day in the life of a small group of society’s outcasts and leftovers as they experience hard lives and broken dreams. John Jay seniors Brittany Banks, Avery Deutsch, Jenny Hamren, Chris Beckett, Trevor Lovitz and Sarah White head a cast of fifteen in this 1973 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award winning show, which as you might recall, was briefly turned into a television sitcom produced by Norman Lear.

Set in the dilapidated lobby of a once-grand hotel that has fallen into ruin after years of neglect, The Hot L Baltimore offers an unsentimental study of a segment of society not often depicted on stage.

See the production November 17 (7:00 P.M.), 18 (7:00 P.M.), and 19 (2:00 & 7:00 P.M.) in the John Jay High School Theatre. Tickets are $5.00 each and go on sale at the door beginning 45 minutes prior to show time.
