Local Spot (Baltimore, MD)  Local Spot performs a character-driven monoscene that starts slow and grounded using an audience suggestion from a color swatch book and a scene paint, but picks up quickly. The show focuses on interesting character dynamics and frequent entrances and exits, allowing the audience to see how characters interact when they’re alone vs. when they’re with others. Secrets come out, alliances are made and broken, and someone usually falls in love. It’s always a roller coaster!
