Baltimore Rock Opera Society

In June 2011, BROS debuted two new plays, Amphion, a love story set in a magical realist 6th c. BC Constantinople, and The Terrible Secret of Lunastus.

In May 2012 at the Autograph Playhouse in Baltimore, MD, BROS debuted their fourth feature-length rock opera, Valhella, written by Jen Tydings and directed by Aran Keating.

[1] Valhella was loosely adapted from Norse mythology and executed in pursuit of what composer Richard Wagner called Gesamtkunstwerk – “that mashup of spectacle, ritual, dance, music, theater and other artsy stuff that is opera at its most extreme.”[2] The opera used large puppets, hand-drawn animation, intricate sets with a full-scale World tree and featured a soundtrack that ranged from traditional Norse folk music to power metal.

[6] From March to April 2014 at 2640 Space in Baltimore, MD, The Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA and The Ruba Club in Philadelphia, BROS re-imagined and transformed their original production, Gründlehämmer.

In January 2015, BROS premiered Chronoshred: The Adventures of Stardust Lazerdong, an action-packed sci-fi comedy telling the story of a time-traveling rock god and his band of colorful alien characters as they battle an evil mega-corporation and fulfill their destiny to throw the biggest concert of all time (literally).

Taking inspiration from 80s and 90s Saturday morning cartoons, Chronoshred featured madcap antics, colorful sets, costumes and props, and was told in an episodic format.

The Terrible Secret of Lunastus, which premiered in a remount of an earlier, shorter production part of the BROS's 2011 Double Feature, is a sci-fi comedic adventure.

Run in February 2018, Constellations & Crossroads was a double-feature in collaboration with The Arena Players showcasing two 6-Pack short plays: Determination of Azimuth and The Battle of Blue Apple Crossing.

The elixir falls into the hands of Reggie and Silas Cryptz, two down-on-their-luck morticians desperate to turn their business around after drawing the ire of a family they've cheated in the past.

The BROS "Brothership", a converted 1988 Saab 900 , which first premiered at Baltimore Artscape festival in July 2010.
