Gala Co-Chairs Deborah St. Lawrence Thompson and Craig Thompson invite you to an evening of fun, adventure and a celebration of Homecoming

Saturday, June 6, 2026  |  5:00 PM

Honoring Amanda LipitZ and Lee Daniels 

Truly unlike any gala in town, the BCS Annual Gala showcases exclusive performances, experiences, and adventures produced by our staff of skilled – and wildly creative – producers, artisans, and craftspeople. 

The evening will begin with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by a world-class performance. Guests will be invited to explore choose-your-own adventure entertainment through every inch of our historic building, while enjoying refreshments, dancing, and a silent auction.

Baltimore Center Stage’s annual Gala benefits the theater’s artistic, learning, and civic programs, and gathers in celebration of our valued community leaders and advocates for the arts. Join us for a night full of immersive experiences created by our staff, producers, artisans, and craftspeople.

 

Thank you for considering a gift in support of our programs.
