Iron Crow Theatre is an award-winning, professional, not-for-profit organization and Baltimore’s queer theatre. We define queer broadly as the celebration of the renegade and unorthodox in all of us. We don’t seek to define queer for others but rather hold space for those who identify themselves or their work as being queer or in support of the queer experience. For us, queer can manifest itself through aesthetic, thematic elements, gender identity, sexual orientation, and/or theatrical approach or convention.
