They love it.”
With one play in the new
Osterman Theatre under their
belts, the cast seems ready to
tackle Lanford Wilson’s “The
Hot L Baltimore.”
“It’s fun to explore differ
ent characters. My character is
nothing like me—she’s kind of
insane,” said Deidra MacKimmie,
who plays Mrs. Bellotti.
“The play shows the surpris
ing things about people that
we sometimes write off,” said
Smith-English. “It’s about what
interesting facets people have in
their lives.”

available to them, Smith-English

“[The set] is certainly larger
than anything we’ve been able to
do before,” said Smith-English.
“The very first thing you’re going
to see is the set and how we’ve
been able to have elevation on
the set. In McLoughlin, if you
had stood on a chair, you’d have
disappeared into the lights.”
Using pictures of old build
ings and 1970s-style clothing, the
costume designer, set designer
and Smith-English were able to
create the world in which the
play will unfold.
This world is the Hotel
Baltimore. Once “the most exclu
sive medium-sized hotel any
where on the Eastern Seaboard
line”—according to one of
Wilson’s characters—it has fallen
slowly into disrepair and become
a sort of permanent home to
prostitutes, petty thieves and the
mildly (and not-so-mildly) psy
chotic.
“All these people have created
a sort of family,” said Smith-
English. “[This play] has a lot to
do about survival and what we do
to survive and be happy. It is very

“I would like audiences to
go away realizing how important

important it is to have toler

Smith-English, “as well as to
