1-25-12: Murder Speak

In every issue of the City Paper, Anna Ditkoff’s Murder Ink column gives details about each Baltimore homicide of the past week. Each of the past four years, Single Carrot Theatre has staged a dramatic reading of the entire year’s worth of Murder Ink columns.

This year, the University of Maryland Carey School of Law is partnering with Single Carrot for the reading; it takes place this evening at 7 p.m. at the school’s Westminster Hall.

Taunya Banks, the Jacob A. France Professor of Equality Jurisprudence at the law school, helped organize it. We’ll talk to her, and to Donnie Andrews, inspiration for Omar Little’s character on The Wire, and founder of antiviolence activist group “Why Murder?”.
