The Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS) is an official 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2007 by Aran Keating, John DeCampos, Dylan Koehler, Eli Breitburg-Smith and Jared Margulies with the mission of producing original, live rock operas.
BROS opened their first performance, Gründlehämmer, at 2640 Space located in Baltimore in 2009. They hold open auditions for all their mainstage shows, including band auditions. Starting in 2011, BROS launched pitch parties, in which they asked the Baltimore community for ideas and suggestions on future rock operas. BROS Headquarters (HQ), where they currently operate, is located on the first floor of the Bell Foundry, a multi-purpose, cooperatively-run performance and rehearsal space. As of May 2018, the BROS has produced thirteen completely original stage productions and has staged many other events and performances. The company performs in various venues in Baltimore, Washington DC and Philadelphia.
