✨ TICKETS ON SALE NOW for the Special Workshop Presentation of CANTON WATERFRONT by Karen Li. Developed in Lab410, Baltimore Center Stage’s local playwright’s residency, this piece tells a tale about the city we call home.

🚢 Sailing between the coasts of two generations and two parallel time periods, Karen Li’s CANTON WATERFRONT is a new play that follows two members of the Shek family and two of their descendants. The older generation is among the first immigrants to arrive in Baltimore from China while their descendants are visiting for business. And though a few hundred years apart and under different circumstances, the land, blood, and waters that connect them are all the same. Though fighting a different fight than their ancestors who came to America to change their lives, the younger generation comes to these same shores and are reminded of who they have been as they discover who they can be.
