BALTIMORE – The committee that is overseeing the new 300 million dollar Super Convention Center and Hotel project announced this week that the new hotel is going to be offering an hourly pirate show on the hotel’s property. The show is going to be the flagship entertainment event for the new hotel complex.
“Our goal in producing this show is to market this complex as not only a place to come for seminars and conferences, but a place to have fun as well.” said the spokeswoman for the committee. “We wanted to be able to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the mega conference complexes on the East Coast and we feel this will accomplish just that."
While the specifics of the actual show have not yet been made public, sources close to the committee have informed the Crab that the design specifications of the show’s set include a scaled down model of the Baltimore Harbor from the 19th Century and a smaller version of the USS Constellation. Also, sources close to group producing the show have informed the Crab that the show’s plot will involve a war-like scenario similar to the pirate war show at the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Along with our sources on this story, this can be inferred from comments made by the committee spokeswoman.
“With the pirate show, the hotel complex will be just like something you would find in Vegas, without of course, the gambling and 24 hour liquor licenses.” said the spokeswoman.
According to another source close to the committee, there were several proposed themes for the hourly show from which the pirate theme was chosen. The other themes included a fisherman character that goes on a tour of the Chesapeake Bay, a topless revue with a “Baltimore Civic History” theme, and a “Defensivus Maximus” themed show highlighting the powerful defense of the 2000 Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl team. In the end, the committee decided to stick with the pirate theme as it was more general and easier for those from out of town to understand.
The show will be free for all registered guests and each registered guest will receive a free “I Survived the Pirate Show In Baltimaaarrrrrggh!” t-shirt. The committee is hoping the show will be ready and live for the first conference in the new hotel.
