What’s a theater without lights, a lobby or even a green room?
Baltimore Improv Group, a troupe of talented creatives who’ve produced on-the-spot comedy for Baltimore since 2004, is making its second move in two years next month, leasing out the vacant former Everyman Theatre space at 1727 N. Charles St. The group will be leaving behind its rented spot at the Single Carrot Theater in Remington.
BIG, as it’s called, is currently eyeing a soft opening of Oct. 6 to coincide with Free Fall Baltimore, offering its “Unscripted” show that Friday and a performance of “The Movement” with The Collective dance organization the following night.
While the space will remain as is — which is to say, pretty no-frills — for those shows, the improv group’s leaders hope to make some significant upgrades this fall to their new theater, which has been used only sporadically for performances, exhibitions and meetings since Everyman Theatre left it behind in 2012.
BIG managing director Terry Withers wasn’t immediately available to comment on details about the campaign today. In a statement, BIG board president Patrick Byrne said the group is “in excellent financial shape, but we are asking for help, through a crowdsourcing campaign, to prepare this new space. We really want this to be a gathering space for the Baltimore comedy community and for Station North.”
