Show won’t go on after harassment allegation in Baltimore
A Maryland theater is postponing its production of an upcoming play after a former volunteer staff member accused the artistic director of sexual harassment.
BALTIMORE (AP) - A Maryland theater is postponing its production of an upcoming play after a former volunteer staff member accused the artistic director of sexual harassment.
Baltimore’s Iron Crow Theater bills itself as Baltimore’s only queer theater. It had been scheduled to stage Terrence McNally’s “Corpus Christi” later this month.
The Baltimore Sun reports the production was postponed. Thirteen staff members issued a statement saying they could not proceed with the production despite “differing opinions over specific events.”
The theater said it investigated the accusation and concluded that no harassment occurred. But the theater says it is implementing new training and new procedures for filing grievances.
A June production of “The Laramie Project” is also being postponed.
