Colonial Players presents 'Taking Steps'

Event Date:  June 7, 2013 - 8:00pm - June 29, 2013 - 10:00pm Join CP for their side-splitting final show of the 64th season, 'Taking Steps,' and have a roaring good time! Alan Ayckbourn responded to a request for a door slamming farce for a theater in the round with this play, which has the three floors of an old Victorian home placed on one level: stairways, closets and all. In the course of one hectic night and morning, with continual running up and downstairs and in and out of rooms, two couples, a solicitor and realtor, each immersed in a personal problem, try to sort themselves out.

A Pub Reading with Colonial Players!

Event Date:  June 2, 2013 - 7:00pm - 10:00pm The second CP pub reading of the summer is something a little different! Join us for a reading of our first musical: "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" by Michael Friedman and Alex Timbers. "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" cooks up an alternate universe (and draw parallels to today's political/populist landscape) with the seventh U.S. president reinvented as an "emo" rock star. This lively musical tells the story of America's first political maverick. A.J. Location Harry Browne's 66 State Circle Annapolis, MD 21401 United States See map: Google Maps
