A multi-arts nonprofit in the restored Patterson movie house on Eastern Ave, technically over the Highlandtown line but a short walk from Canton's rowhouse grid, and the closest thing the area has to a real stage. A typical week mixes concerts, storytelling nights, exhibition openings and free community events, with the Marquee Lounge bar on site.
