The Baltimore Book Festival has a group of great programming partners that present interesting authors and topics over the festival weekend. Take a look at our 2012 programming partners.
CENTERSTAGE
CENTERSTAGE joins the Baltimore Book Festival to celebrate the word - by popping the words off the page and onto the stage. Join us for 50 Fest where words come alive for a three-day theatrical event celebrating 50 years of theater-making in Maryland. 50 companies present 50 theatrical events that look back and look ahead 50 years while extending the reach of the Baltimore Book Festival one extra block east on Monument Street between St. Paul and Calvert Streets.
