ABOUT
IRON CROW THEATRE
WHO WE ARE
Iron Crow Theatre is an award-winning, professional, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization and Baltimore’s queer theatre. Iron Crow Theatre produces queer theatre for a queer city, celebrating the renegade and the unorthodox in all of us. Iron Crow Theatre welcomes everyone. You do not need to identify as queer to work at Iron Crow Theatre.
OUR VISION
Iron Crow Theatre strives to build the future of theatre in Baltimore by producing bold, high-quality work while creating meaningful opportunities for artists and arts workers. We seek to fill a critical gap in Baltimore's cultural landscape by serving as a bridge between community theatre and the region's largest institutions, helping artists develop their careers, audiences discover exceptional local talent, and our city grow a stronger, more sustainable arts ecosystem. Through competitive compensation and an inclusive, professional creative environment grounded in artistic excellence, we are committed to ensuring that Baltimore's artists can create, thrive, and succeed right here at home.
SAFETY
Iron Crow Theatre is committed to producing work of the highest artistic quality and to a rehearsal and performance process that upholds the highest standards of professionalism; modeling ourselves after Equity theatres, we continue to admire greatly. We are devoted to fostering both a culture and an environment that embraces diversity and inclusion, promotes safety and well-being, and allows our artists to do some of their best work here - free from harassment of any kind.
When working on a production at Iron Crow Theatre, all cast and crew members receive Safer Spaces training to ensure a professional harassment-free workplace. In addition, Iron Crow Theatre’s staff, directors, and stage managers have been trained in a variety of best practices as it pertains to trauma-informed practices and staging intimacy by Theatrical Intimacy Education. Furthermore, an Intimacy Director is hired for each production requiring scenes of simulated actor to actor intimacy and a Fight Director for all scenes involving simulated actor to actor violence. In addition, members of our staff have been certified in mental health first-aid by The National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
Iron Crow Theatre utilizes the Equity deputy system for all productions and has a member of the board of directors serve as an ombudsperson providing direct access to additional support at the highest levels of the organization.
The 26/27
season lineup
THE 2026-2027 SEASON HASN’T BEEN ANNOUNCED PUBLICLY
We want to get a head start on casting for our first play of the season. Additional titles will be announced at a later date.
Wolf Play
By Hansol Jung
Directed by Melissa Freilich
Rehearsals begin on August 24, 2026.
Performances begin on October 2, 2026, and end on October 18, 2026, at Baltimore Theatre Project.
Synopsis: A Korean boy named Wolf is abruptly given away by his adoptive American father to a new family. But when his former father discovers Wolf's new parents are a lesbian couple, he immediately decides he wants him back.
What follows is an emotionally charged and often funny struggle over belonging, identity, and who gets to define a family. Told through a striking theatrical device in which Wolf is portrayed by a puppet, Wolf Play is a bold, inventive, and deeply moving new play that explores the ways children are seen, shaped, claimed, and loved by the adults around them.
