What's the story, morning glory? What's the word, hummingbird?

Overheard on Twitter:

Single Carrot Theatre, one of Baltimore's newest theatre companies, has found recent success with a play by none other than Tracy Letts, author of Bug and August: Osage County.

"Last performance of Killer Joe is on right now," @SingleCarrot tweeted yesterday afternoon. "A sell out weekend, standing room only--our most attended show ever. Thanks to all who came!"

For a company trying to gain its ground and compete with Baltimore's already-thriving theatre community, Single Carrot is well on its way! They were voted the Best New Theatre Company by City Paper's Best of Baltimore 2008 issue. According to their website, they strive to produce socially relevant shows to educate the community through a variety of diverse works, a feat which I'd say they are accomplishing at an astonishing rate right now.

I suppose, then, that their motto is true:

"The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution." --Paul Cezanne

Now there's some food for thought.
