Genesius Theatre
Genesius Theatre is a Performance Venue that specializes in Musical Theatre. The theatre doubles as a learning center for kids by providing 2-3 kids / teen performances and 4-6 week kids summer theatre camp every year. The "Genesius Difference" is the up-close atmosphere of the performances. We trust in the power of this inspiring & dynamic medium to transform the artists who create it, the audiences who enjoy it, and the patrons who support it.

Teddy Roosevelt declared that this Italian Renaissance-style building was the handsomest building I ever saw. Indeed, the State Capitol, with its vaulted dome and grand staircase and the murals and painted floors inside, is thing to behold.

Baltimore Spirits Company
Be the master blender for the day! Blend your own bottle of Epoch Maryland Rye, Baltimore's first Maryland Rye to be produced in the city since the 1970s. In this unforgettable experience, your tour and blending experience will take between 1.5 and 2 hours. The highlight of the afternoon will be to taste and evaluate four of our barrel-finished Maryland Rye whiskeys, and then to create your own custom blended bottle of the spirits. Epoch Rye won Double-Gold Medals at both the 2018 and 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. We take care of you from the time you walk in the door to ensure your perfect date, afternoon with friends, or a great gift for a whiskey fan. In addition to creating your own custom blend of our award-winning Pot-Distilled Maryland Rye, attendees also receive: • One delicious welcome cocktail • A compelling history lesson of Maryland Rye (15 minutes) • An up-close and personal distillery tour of our production facility and 650+ barrel rickhouse.
