Tips & Advice

  • Arrive before the 6 p.m. performance to get settled; the listing shows a single scheduled start rather than multiple entry windows.
  • Review your route to Baltimore Theatre Project and allow extra travel time, since the source provides no parking or transit guidance.
  • Keep your Eventbrite ticket details accessible for entry; the event listing directs visitors to Eventbrite for tickets.
  • Consider whether a 90-minute ballet suits younger children's attention spans; the event is listed as all-ages, but no age-specific programming is described.
