Center Stage (Baltimore). Founded in 1963 by a group of ambitious community theatre members, the company's first production was Schnitzler's La Ronde, and since then its schedule has included a wide, responsible selection of classics and new plays. When their original facility burned down in 1974, the troupe began performing in the partially renovated Pearlstone Theatre on the campus of Loyola College and High School. The Center Stage expanded significatly under artistic directors Peter Culman and Stan Wojewodski Jr. and is now headed by Irene Lewis. Among the original offerings afterward presented in New York were Slow Dance on the Killing Ground, The Trial of the Catonsville Nine, G. R. Point, Roza, On the Verge, and Miss Evers' Boys. In addition to the 541‐seat Pearlstone, the company also performs in the smaller, flexible Head Theatre. It is the official State Theatre of Maryland.
