For Tickets Call: 410-647-8412 March is REVIVAL MONTH! The Musical of Musicals: The Musical & 52 Pick-Up RETURN! The entire “dream cast” returns in The Musical of Musicals: The Musical, “a gem of a show” about other famous Broadway shows with amusingly naughty twists. In just ninety minutes, the four- member cast presents five musicals parodying five very different styles…that means Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Kander & Ebb. This outrageous evening is a whirlwind of jokes, as show after show is lambasted and skewered with unparalleled wit and wry humor. Receiving rave reviews during its initial 2009 run, The Baltimore Sun heralded it as “another triumph in Standing O’s growing list.” Tickets are $18/$15 Shows: March 12 and 13 at 8:00 PM & March 14 at 2:00 PM For Tickets Call: 410-647-8412 52 cards, each with a different scene from a relationship written on them, are thrown high into the air. Thus begins the theatrical experiment of 52 Pick-Up. The two actors then proceed to pick up a card and perform that scene. Sounds like a gimmick, yet the story is beautifully observed no matter how it shakes out. Veteran stage actors and real-life couple Duncan and Dianne Hood return in this spontaneous evening in the theatre, which is delightfully different every night. Tickets are $18/$15 Shows: March 26 and 27 at 8:00 PM & March 28 at 5:30 PM For Tickets Call: 410-647-8412 New Shows Begin in May! This is Our Youth by Kenneth Lonergan Starring Ron Giddings, Samuel Gillam, and Coty Warn Directed by Jacki Null From the Academy-Award nominated author of Analyze This and Gangs of New York comes a coming-of-age comedy called simultaneously "caustic and compassionate," "rambunctious and witty" by the New York Times and inspiring the New York Daily News to rave, "this is quite simply, a sterling example of why we keep going... This is Our Youth is as good as theatre gets." Set in 1982, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Kenneth Lonergan's This is Our Youth follows twenty-four hours of three very lost young souls in the big city at the dawn of the Reagan Era: Warren Straub, a dejected nineteen year old who steals fifteen thousand dollars from his abusive lingerie-tycoon father; Dennis Ziegler, the charismatic domineering drug-dealing friend who helps him put the money to good use; and Jessica Goldman, the anxiously insightful young woman Warren yearns for. Hilarious, poignant, and meticulous, This is Our Youth is a living snapshot of the moment between adolescence and adulthood when many young people first go out into the world on their own, armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagers-ideas and techniques far more sophisticated than their parents ever realize, and far less effectual than they themselves can possibly imagine. "Lonergan, whose ear for the way his characters speak is pitch-perfect, is no less attuned to the simmering potential in their silent hearts." -Variety Shows: May 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 at 8:00 PM Chesapeake Academy Black Box Theatre 1185 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd., Arnold, MD 21012 Directions under "About Us" tab |
