Port Tobacco Players is a small playhouse nestled in the town of LaPlata right on Charles Street…read morebeside the train tracks. SOMD has many wonderful, hidden gems, and PTPLAYERS is no exception. My wife and I have seen many productions at this playhouse, and left impressed time after time. They are ambitious in choosing which productions to take on. Currently, they are running RagTime, a play that I first saw many moons ago at the National Theatre in Washington DC. Let me just say this... RUN, DRIVE, JOG, UBER, LYFT, TROT if you have to, but get there. This production was excellent from the acting, to the singing, to the costumes, the staging, the sets, etc... were all fantastic!!! I grew up in the theater, and this performance was Broadway quality for sure. So, in general, PTPLAYERS is small but a good size playhouse. The staff is always kind and helpful. The building, although recently renovated, still has that Old Towne feel. Here's the best part. In lieu of the typical movie night, treat yourself to a live performance for almost the same cost of movie tickets. Also, I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the Board Members and Director of Costumes, Janice Sagers. Her passion about the arts and this theater confirms my thoughts that this playhouse is indeed a SOMD gem! One last thing. Make your evening complete by dining at the farm to table restaurant across the street, The Charles. (See my review of The Charles)

We heard of the play but never seen it so we said why not. The cast was awesome. The theater is spacious and decorated nicely. I would suggest getting there 30 minutes prior to show start time. The play runtime was from 3pm - 6pm with a intermission. Parking was a little difficult but not a real problem. Next year we will go see a raisin in the sun and the wiz. We are excited about that. Stay tune for the review of the plays in 2024.

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.

I have seen numerous performances here, and they are all consistently at a high level. I have been to NYC. You don't need to spend $250 to be up close to great theater. The talent that comes to Metro Stage have Broadway in their resumes. The current performance of Black Pearl Sings set in the post depression 1930's, takes 2 women from different worlds and shows how they can bond through music. Their story stands on its own, and is not just a backdrop to launch into song. The show takes the viewer through a full range of emotions. The outcome is bittersweet. If you live in the DC. metro area, don't overlook what is in your own backyard. After all, it is a "Metro Stage."

For years, I have heard about how good the Signature Theatre is and how well produced and high…read morequality its shows are. But, for some reason or other, I have never gone there. Either I think it is too far for me to go or its performance dates just don't work for me or it just never made it on my radar screen. But last week, I got tickets to "Safety Not Guaranteed" and I am really glad I did. The experience at Signature Theatre was great as was the show. The facility is new and modern. The seats are comfortable. The ushers and others who worked there were knowledgeable and pleasant. The whole audience experience was a complete A+ for me! You know, so many of the other area theaters have become unpleasant in my experience. I used to be a big fan of the Studio Theatre on 14th Street in Washington DC until all of its shows simply preached at me about moral topics, political issues and how I should lead my life as a better person in their opinion. I did not like it and, as a result, they lost me as an audience member. But I am pleased to say that Signature Theatre has gained me as an audience member. I liked everything about it. When I look at the season, I see plays that I actually want to see. And, from the performance I saw of Safety Not Guaranteed, I have experienced a theater that I want to be a part of. Everyone involved with Signature Theatre should be proud of what they have built. I know that I am happy to have found this place. Thank you!

The 2-hour show (with intermission) was entertaining with the setting in New Orleans. This little theater had several pluses. First, the interior space is cozy and provides a fun vibe of live theater in which audience engagement is part of the experience. Second, it's only a few blocks away from restaurants on King Street. Street parking is not difficult to find if you arrive early. Third, the overall quality of individual theatrical performances was quite good. All the performers seemed to have regular day-jobs, but love theater for its own sake (perhaps from college). The only minus is the theater seats are very close to each other (think ballpark). Thus, if you happen to sit behind someone who is really tall, it may require a bit of peeking around to see parts of the stage. Hopefully, the folks in front of you will not be tall. Would definitely return for a future performance.

I checked in with a woman who had a printed list of ticket holder names. The seats were very close to one another and infront and back of you.
