Colonial Players 64th Season

We start off with the beguiling period piece, Bell, Book and Candle by John van Druten, a story about witches and love in New York in the 50’s. In October, in Sunlight by Sharr White, we watch as an idealistic, aging college president is dealing with the consequences of his outrageous attack on the dean of the law school because of his assistance in writing the government’s guidelines on enhanced interrogation. After December’s A Christmas Carol (not a part of the season, but definitely part of Annapolis holiday tradition!) we launch on an amazing tale of thirty years of death-defying adventure and swashbuckling performance in Shipwrecked by Donald Margulies. In February comes Trying, the amusing and memorable clash of two strong personalities in a play written by one of them, Joanna McClellan Glass, about herself and Former US Attorney General Francis Biddle in the last year of his distinguished life. In March, 1776 roars into the theater, with our founding fathers at odds over independence but in harmony musically with uplifting and exhilarating song. In May comes Sarah Ruhl’s In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play, a tender Victorian love story between a wife and her husband and the amazing new powers of electricity. And in June, we show you how Alan Ayckbourn took on the challenge of staging a farce with slamming doors, two stair cases, a ghost and six hilariously addled people on three floors, all on one level in the round in Taking Steps, a comic dessert for the season. So tuck in! Support CP and plan to enjoy a full menu of entertaining, enlightening, delicious theater! Bon appetite!
