I LOVED the fact this performance held true to the narration in the book. I've never seen a production that really held true to how Dickens presented the story and characters. It was FANTASTIC.

The cast was amazing & kept everyone laughing. I have been to Colonial Players several times & it has not disappointed. it's a small cozy welcoming theatre of local enthusiasts who love the theatre & they do such a fabulous job every time. Ticket prices are very reasonable & some discounts are offered such as senior & military. Also, Colonial Players now offers Seat FlexTickets for Adults for $22.00 per seat ($110.00 total) and for Seniors, Students, and Active Military for $18.00 per seat ($90.00) total. They are transferable .... How cool is that? Parking can be a challenge so be sure to arrive with plenty of time before the start of the plays to allow time to get your ticket and get comfortable. I highly recommend you check it out & let's continue to support the creative minds of our locals who come together to showcase their talent and devotion to the arts and our community. And a quote from the Dracula program... "and remember: laughter is the best defense against the dark"

There's not much of an angle so if a tall man or lady with 80's puff hair is in front of you, good luck seeing the stage. I am glad there's an arts center in Annapolis. Will look into their classes.

If you have a tall person in front of you, you will only see slightly left and slightly right. And I am Tall so for my view to be blocked, that was disappointing. We sat in front, Aisle "N". I even turned around and asked the woman in back of me if she wanted me to move so she could see. It's a former High School perhaps that's why. Parking is plentiful but far enough away they should consider lighting the front of Maryland Hall better. PLUS, tickets were very expensive.

Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake was a really cool adventure for my kids. They loved all aspects…read moreof it! The adventure starts with a phone call. This isn't the type of adventure you can show up to on a whim. You have to schedule a visit in advance. I scheduled a date and time over the phone. They took my credit card info, a contact number and my kids' names. The first date I scheduled was cancelled due to inclement weather. Pirate Adventures called and cancelled the adventure about three hours prior to when it was supposed to start. I elected to reschedule right then. I was instructed to arrive a half hour before our adventure so the kids could get their faces painted and pick out a sash. We parked on the street a few blocks away not realizing they have a parking lot. We checked in, the kids were given name tags with their name and an alliterative adjective (ie Zig Zag Zora and Kung Fu Kieran) and then reported to the face painting and sash picking area. After face painting kids and adults boarded the boat and the Chesapeake part of the adventure began. The captain went over a few safety measures with the adults while his assistant went through guidelines with the kids. The adventure has a whole story with different parts involved that kept the seven kids on our adventure entertained. Ages ranged from probably three to fourteen. These parts included a map search, treasure hunt, key finding expedition, pirate fight and a final pirate bounty quest. For the adults, we just hung out under a shaded portion of the boat. I got up to interact with my kids a few times and to snap some pictures. Mostly I just enjoyed the boat ride. The whole adventure lasted almost two hours (counting face painting). If you have kids that love to pretend and don't mind riding a boat, Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake might be right up their alley.

The only downside is the small seats, why it's 4 not 5. It was hard to sit for the 2 hour show in the seats. Also they had no recycling for the bottle my beverage came in which was kind of a bummer.

First time taking granddaughters to a play. The…read moreactors/actresses were impressive. Was thoroughly entertained by their ability and singing! The cast members meet guests outside after the play, which I thought was a nice added value. The theatre itself is very impressive. Very clean and the seats seem to all have a great view. (They also provide booster seats for the little ones). You might want to bring a sweater, it is a little chilly. Be prepared as the audience is mainly friends and family of the cast - so there is considerable hooting and hollering for specific characters. (This was mentioned in a review from 2019 - so some things never change). As with bathrooms worldwide, there are not enough stalls in the women's restroom to accommodate the lines - especially during intermission. All things considered, I probably will not go back, because... being as this is A CHILDREN'S THEATRE and the play should NOT be 2+ hours! Holy Moly, how do you expect 4, 5, 6 or even 8 year olds can sit still that long? Sadly, I left feeling: set changes, a 20-minute intermission and about 6 songs too many, made me more than ready to go home.
