Hello, I'm Governor Martin O'Malley with a message of congratulations
on behalf of all of Maryland.
Congratulations to Center Stage on 50 years of producing professional, world-class theater in the heart of Baltimore.
Who would have thought that a small company founded on
President Street in 1963 would grow up to become one of Maryland's
major Arts Organizations and a model for countless theaters all across the country.
As the State Theater of Maryland, you've had a major impact on the cultural life of our State.
Your community and education programs, such as Encounter and the Young Playwrights' Festival,
have transformed the lives of students throughout our State and fostered
life-long appreciations for the Arts.
As we look to the next 50 years, I challenge you and all of us to
remember and support the unique role that the performing arts play in our
local, state, and national life.
Again, on behalf of myself and all of the people of Maryland,
happy anniversary Center Stage.
