TheHot L Baltimoreis a rundown hotel so seedy that it has lost the "e" from itsmarquee. This once elegant, now-decrepit hotel is the gathering place for thelost souls, retired old people, misfits and prostitutes living on the lowestrung of society's ladder. During the course of one day we witness the drama ofpassing live events, of everyday encounters and a wealth of compassion andhumor as our residents struggle to maintaining their dignity and honor whiletheir world heads toward upheaval.

Thecast, under thedirection of Terry Dodd, includes new faces and old friends; Eric Hansen (BillLewis), Robin Wallace (Girl), Patty Mintz Figel (Millie), Judy Phelan Hill(Mrs. Bellotti), Catherine DiBella Lindsey (April Green), Joey Wishnia (Mr.Morse), Laura Lounge (Jackie), Brian Kusic (Jamie), Joe Wilson (Mr. Katz),Kimberly Nicole (Suzy), Brian Brooks (Paul Granger III), Kathryn Gray (Mrs.Oxenham) and Bennett Batten (Delivery Boy/Crew).
