Welcome to the new, improved, easier-to-navigate, and hopefully more user-friendly web page for Baltimore's diamond-in-the-rough Parkway Theatre™. Site content is now organized into more logical topics and each page should be viewable with little or no horizontal scrolling as long as your screen resolution is 1290 x 960 (pixels) or greater. With this version we have added a new blog element to facilitate more nearly real-time information exchanges, now that the Charles North Vision Plan is moving toward actual implementation.
