October 22, 2026 - The "Charm'tastic Mile" of Baltimore (CTMB-1.3) <a href="https://www.thecharmtasticmile.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.thecharmtasticmile.com</a>. The chic &amp; famed 1.3 mile corridor located in the heart of&nbsp;Charm City (Est.1975)&nbsp;that connects&nbsp;Dwtn-West, the Inner Harbor &amp; Harbor East (S. Greene &amp; W. Pratt Street to S. President &amp; Fleet Street)&nbsp;that is now listed on Google search as one of the&nbsp;Top 10-15 Most Famous Streets in America&nbsp;is reporting its&nbsp;Sports'tastic Thursday&nbsp;in B'more.
The "No Purple Doubt" Ravens (4-2) will be hosting the "Who Dey"&nbsp; Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) this coming Sunday. It's an AFC North Battle. This will be the Ravens 2nd division game of the season. Cincinnati lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3 on the road, 30-27. The Bengals are coming off a bye-week, their previous game was a 31-24 win on the road&nbsp;vs the Miami Dolphins.&nbsp;Baltimore is coming off a lackluster&nbsp;13-10 road loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Browns and their "Dawg Pound" are 1st in the AFC North. The AFC &amp; NFC North have 8-teams with all 8 having plus .500 records entering Week 7. Will star QB Lamar Jackson play vs another star QB Joe Burrow? He was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a big-game for both teams. Game-time Sunday 1:00 PM. on CBS.&nbsp;The Ravens 2026 fan-based slogan/moniker "No Purple Doubt" was highly inspired by Jay-Z's 1996 debut album "Reasonable Doubt". The hip-hop Icon will be performing back-to-back shows this Friday &amp; Saturday at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. SoFi will be the site of Super Bowl LXI (61). If the Ravens could advance all-the-way to SB 61 their "No Purple Doubt" slogan would take center-stage with the rumor that Jay-Z will be performing at halftime.&nbsp;Today marks the 2-day countdown to the&nbsp;1-Year Anniversary&nbsp;of the&nbsp;Baltimore-Edition MONOPOLY Game&nbsp;<a href="https://www.us.toptrumps.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.us.toptrumps.com</a>.

G. Thomas Allen, vocals Brent Griffin, Jr., saxophone Richard Johnson, keyboards Jeremiah Hunt, bass Neil Hemphill, drums
Award-winning vocalist, composer and music educator, G. Thomas Allen (affectionately called “Sir Thomas Allen”) brings a unique approach to the genre with his soul-infused phrases, paired with improvisation from modern-day stylizing to straight-ahead, classic jazz.&nbsp;His four-octave range and warm timbre are second-to-none and often compared to the likes of the iconic Philip Bailey.&nbsp;
Thomas’ work spans multi-genres, as a former Principal Artist of Los Angeles Opera and lead singer on GRAMMY-nominated album “Choirmaster” (Motown Gospel 2020).&nbsp;He has worked with the late David Baker, jazz educator and conductor of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, guest soloist with the Black Pearl Chamber Ensemble, Royal Melbourne Philharmonic, and former member of Soulful Symphony.&nbsp;Other noted collaborations: Marquis Hill, Pharez Whitted, and the Jason Max Ferdinand Singers. He has appeared on National Public Radio (NPR) and Cable Network News (CNN), and performed at some of the top concert halls in America, including The Kennedy Center, NJPAC, and Carnegie Hall.&nbsp;

​FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
​What Is an Improvised Musical?
​An
 improvised musical is just like a regular musical, but every song, 
scene, and character is made up right there on stage. When you come to 
one of our shows, you’ll see performers create full songs and tell a 
story—all without a script. We start with a single word from the 
audience and then dive right into making it all up, including improvised
 songs that fit the scene. Each musical is one-of-a-kind, so you’ll 
never see the same show twice.
​What Will I See at a Show?
​At
 our shows, you’ll watch as we build an improvised musical from scratch.
 We take one word from the audience to get started, and then we make up 
everything—characters, conflicts, resolutions, and, of course, 
improvised songs. The story might have heroes, villains, friendships, 
and surprises, and it all unfolds right before your eyes. The songs are 
completely original and made up, and they bring the whole musical to 
life!
​Is It Really Improvised?
​Yes! It’s
 all completely improvised. Nothing is planned ahead of time. Every 
line, every scene, and every song is made up on the spot. We love the 
challenge of making it all work together, and the audience’s suggestion 
helps guide us. Because it’s all created through improv, each musical 
show is unique, with improvised songs you’ll only hear once. It’s all 
about creativity, teamwork, and embracing the unexpected.
​
​ABOUT BALTIMORE MUSICAL IMPROV
​At
 Baltimore Musical Improv, we create improvised songs and musicals 
filled with improvised songs that come to life on the spot. Each show 
and workshop is different because everything is made up on the fly. We 
start with a word from the audience, and from there, our team jump into 
creating a whole new story, with brand-new characters and scenes. It’s a
 musical adventure that’s completely unscripted!
​We’re a
 nonprofit group supported by Fractured Atlas, and our mission is to 
bring the joy of improvised musicals to the Baltimore community. We 
believe anyone can join in and be part of this unique, creative 
experience—no singing or acting skills required to start!

Formed in Atlanta by the female trio of Tabitha Duncan, Athena Cage and LaVonn Battle, Kut Klose&nbsp;was a trio of gifted vocalists with tremendous promise, shaped and supported by Keith Sweat, whose music continues to define sultry '90s R&amp;B. Kut Klose specialize in a sassy brand of urban R&amp;B pop, primarily mounted on their smooth harmonies. Their debut album, Surrender, was the second to be released on Keith Sweat’s Keia Records label (the first being Silk’s platinum-selling debut), and merged pop sensibilities and bedroom soul with hip-hop beats. Comprising ballads such as “I Like” and “Giving You My Love” alongside the New Jill Swing of “Don’t Change,” the opening single was “Get Up On It,” a duet with Sweat himself.&nbsp;
Keystone Kards are not applicable for this show.
