Paul Granger III (Chris Owen) wakes up in the lobby of the Hotel Baltimore as Mr. Morse (Paul Thomas) works out with dumb bells. Project See Theatre presents Langford Wilson's 'The Hot l Baltimore," March 1-11 at the Downtown Art Center in Lexington, Ky.

The play that became a sitcom that’s now a “contemporary classic” is performed this weekend in Lexington.  Besides “Hot’l Baltimore,” theater goers can also see a drama based on the scientist credited with making the 1st atomic bomb.   Rich Copley of the Lexington Herald Leader previews both stage productions.
