Paige in Full, presented by Baltimore native Paige Hernandez, tells the story of a multicultural girl growing up in Baltimore whose identity is shaped by her ethnicity and popular culture, according to a release from BSU. The performance will feature a combination of poetry, dance, visual arts and live music.
The shows will take place at 2 p.m. on Thursday (followed by a “talk back” with performers) and 8 p.m. on Friday. Both shows are free and tickets will be handed out at the door. For more information, call 301-860-3769 or 301-860-3755.
