Baltimore Playhouse Policy

Photography & Recording Device Policy

The Baltimore Playhouse photography policy is simple: NO UNAUTHORIZED PHOTOGRAPHY
Cell phones are not allowed to be used in any other part of the Playhouse except the lobby. Use of cell phones will be kept to the outside of the play space and coat check area. For those of you who are required to have your phone on you, you must have it set to vibrate only, and move to the lobby or exterior of the building to answer your calls.

Anyone caught taking unauthorized pictures will have their “device” confiscated and will be escorted from the building. Said “device” will then be searched and any pictures, videos, or other recordings found will be deleted. Persons found to have transmitted or used an unauthorized image taken at the Baltimore Playhouse will have their Contributorship cancelled without refund, be permanently banned from the Playhouse, and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
