Overview

BY NOAH DIAZ

DIRECTED BY WILL DAVIS

The author of critically acclaimed Richard & Jane & Dick & Sally is back with a Baltimore Center Stage original. Marie is plagued by the winter blues. Her boyfriend’s a dud, her bank statements are piling up, and her job at the local dry cleaners feels like a dead end. Oh, and the FBI has just seized her house and assets in their pursuit of her father, a notorious con man on the run for swindling families and businesses out of their money. When Marie is used as bait to lure her father in, she inexplicably finds herself stuck on a road trip with him to acquire the stolen funds. Loosely inspired by the real-life exploits of the playwright’s mother and grandfather, The Swindlers is a raucous new play that explores redemption, reconciliation, and the unspoken rewards of surviving time with family.

This season, BCS is working with a new technology platform, which will allow the company to live stream select productions and events. Live streams will begin with Noah Diaz’s The Swindlers, starting September 21st. Audiences will be able to log in and watch the performance live as it’s happening in the theater.
