Award winning (CABARET - New Hampshire Theatre Awards 2005) Music And Drama Company of Londonderry, NH presented their Fall production of HOT L BALTIMORE, directed by Frank Annese (Days of Our Lives: see resume ) on November 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2005 at the Adams Memorial Opera House in Derry, N. H.

HOT L BALTIMORE by Lanford Wilson takes place in the lobby of a rundown hotel so seedy that it has lost the "e" from its marquee. As the action unfolds, the residents, ranging from young to old, from the defiant to the resigned, meet and talk and interact with each other during the course of one day. The drama is of passing events in their lives, of everyday encounters and of the human comedy, with conversations often overlapping into a contrapuntal musical flow. In the resulting mosaic each character emerges clearly and perceptively defined, and the sum total of what they are -- or wish they were -- becomes a poignant, powerful call to America to recover lost values and to restore itself in its own and the world's eyes.
