The search for romance and a cure takes audiences on a whirlwind odyssey through Amsterdam, Munich, Paris, and Vienna in Paula Vogel‘s dark, satirical fantasy, The Baltimore Waltz, Magic Theatre’s legacy revival at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Vogel’s groundbreaking work is a heartfelt tribute as well as a political indictment written at the height of the AIDS epidemic.

During Baltimore Waltz, a young woman receives a deadly diagnosis — she has a mysterious new disease that has already killed many and has no cure. Trying to escape the pain and anxiety of her uncertain future, she and her beloved brother flee to Europe in a desperate search for a cure. Listen to Vogel comment on The Baltimore Waltz in this video.
