The Vagabond Players has been continuously operating for ninety years in Baltimore. Established in 1916, the Vagabond Players is considered “America’s Oldest Little Theatre.” Started during the popular “Little Theatre Movement” the Vagabond Players quickly established itself as an important part of theatre history. During the 1920's this 'Little Theatre' held fast to its amateur status despite Governor Ritchie and Mayor Broening urging the group to turn professional. Thus The Vagabond Players outlived The Provincetown Playhouse in Massachusetts and The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York, both of which were Little Theatres that turned professional and shortly there after dissolved.

The building they are currently housed in is a contributing structure to the Fells Point Historic District found on the NRHP.
