Salisbury, Maryland is located in southeast Maryland on the Eastern Shore, connected to the Chesapeake Bay by the Wicomico River. It is Maryland’s second-largest port city behind Baltimore–a fast-growing community, currently hosting a population of around 30,000, and experiencing a growth rate of nearly 20 percent over the last decade. Several entertainment personalities have hailed from this area, including actors John Glover and Linda Hamilton, as well as theater director Ryan J. Davis.
