written by Steven J. Satta
directed by Cat Bustos
A collaboration with The Baltimore Playwrights Festival!
A new work by a local Baltimore playwright selected from this season of exciting BPF readings!
It’s 1977 and things are looking up for Prof. Julian Chapel! He has a new exhibition and, possibly, a new boyfriend. But scandal erupts when the Dean believes a homoerotic painting is actually a portrait of Roberto, one of Julian’s graduate students. Before Julian can decide what to do, the painting mysteriously disappears. Floating Down to Camelot is about love, art, and finding allies in unlikely places.
