Charm City Boys
Industrialization is to Baltimore as the Charm City Boys are to smelling each jar in a spice rack without labels. On the corner of Conkling and Dillon streets, across from the Natty Boh building, you'll find the Charm City Boys; an eclectic group of gender performers. Each show is as diverse as its royalty: mixing in live vocals, hip-hop, country, political, alternative and even dancing genitalia. The Charm City Boys can be seen every third Friday of the month at Gallaghers and have been entertaining the crowds since May 2002. Enjoy the show, hon!

Charm City Kitty Club
The Charm City Kitty Club is a series designed to foster, showcase, and celebrate creative _expression for lesbian, dyke, bisexual, transgender and transsexual women and our allies. The goal is to serve as a catalyst for connection and a forum for discussion through the arts. All genders are welcome and encouraged to attend. The Charm City Kitty Club is a program housed within the Creative Alliance that features music, visual/performance art, film/video, writing and various other forms of creative _expression.
The Creative Alliance is a community based non-profit organization that presents and promotes the arts and humanities. As a membership organization of artists, arts supporters, writers, scholars and businesses, the Creative Alliance cultivates community through collaboration.
The Charm City Kitty Club’s vision of a welcoming and respectful environment for all communities is an atmosphere that makes a commitment to be free from racism, classism, ageism, ableism, biphobia, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, cultural appropriation, and censorship. Audiences and performers are asked to participate in the creation of this open and non-oppressive environment.
There are no auditions or pre-screenings required for showing work at the Charm City Kitty Club. Each show is curated, not based on an objective measure of “quality,” but toward the goal of assembling a diverse and stimulating blend of performances. Performers are asked to review their work in terms of the values stated above. To perform, send an e-mail to mamakitty(at)charmcitykittyclub.com. Interested performers/artists/those with bravado and hubris, please send a brief paragraph stating your performance medium and a description that best describes what will happen when you step onto the stage.
