The lowdown -- The second production of the 25th annual Baltimore
Playwrights Festival is a kind of anniversary celebration in its own right. The Past is Present, which opens tonight at Fell's Point Corner Theatre, is a quartet of one-acts by veteran festival playwrights. The bill consists of: Willie Baby, a comedy by Joe Dennison, Carol Weinberg and Kimberley Lynne in which Shakespeare's agent shows up demanding royalties; Memory Garden and Wilderness, a pair of playlets by Mark Scharf that focus on loss and life in suburbia, respectively; and Miss Alice Plays by Rich Espey, a series of vignettes connected by references to an unseen kindergarten teacher.
