Take a Tour to Vagabond Players in Baltimore - The Oldest Continuous Little Theater in the United States
Vagabond Players is the oldest "little" theater in America. Established in the year 1916 during the popular "Little Theater Movement", the theater quickly became an integral part of the cultural history. The theater has entertained the people of Baltimore and outsiders for over 90 long years. As far as the records goes the first play produced by Vagabond Theater was "The Artist".
Vagabond Theater continued its endeavor towards producing the writings of Eugene O Neil. At that point of time he was a young and unknown man. The theater also introduced the works of Arthur Schnitzler, August Strindberg and Maurice Maeterlinck during their early years. This theater was the epicenter of art and culture during the early nineties in America.
During the year of 1920, the theater received request from Governor Ritchie and Mayor Borening, urging them to transform into a professional group. However, the theater did hold to its status of being amateur. So historically speaking the theater out performed its counterparts like The Provincetown Playhouse in Massachusetts and The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. Both of these two theaters were little theaters and they turned professional only to get dissolved shortly.
