The Baltimore Waltz may or may not feature any actual waltzes. You'll just have to find out.

Under most circumstances, plays about terminal diseases might not be your idea of a fun Friday night, but The Baltimore Waltz promises to be the exception to this rule. Waltz, the senior thesis of director Sophie Blumberg ’12 and actors Aeneas Hemphill ’12 and Robyn Rae Stype ’12, is an absurd look at a serious situation: when Anna (Stype) is diagnosed with Acquired Toilet Disease (itself an absurdist take on the AIDS epidemic) and given one month to live, she and her brother Carl (Hemphill) make the best of a bad situation and finally undertake the tour of Europe they’d always been planning. It’s a must-see if you’re interested in how Hemphill and Stype portray the conflict between the two siblings, how Blumburg turns the bizarre premise into something poignant and how the third actor in Waltz, Tim Jurney ’15, manages to handle playing the show’s remaining 15 (yes, you read that number right) characters.

Blumberg’s production of The Baltimore Waltz premieres tonight at 8:00 p.m. in the Hill Theater. If you can’t make it tonight, you’ll have another chance on Sunday evening; same time, same place.
