The Colonial Players of Annapolis

The Colonial Players of Annapolis Ticket Cost: Adults, $26. Senior/Student/Military, $21. The Colonial Players offers a wide variety of dramatic productions in the heart of downtown Annapolis.

The Colonial Players is a not-for-profit, all-volunteer community theater in Annapolis, MD, offering a variety of theatrical productions from September through June. Founded in 1949 by a group of Annapolitans dedicated to bringing high quality theater to what was then a very small town on the Chesapeake Bay, the theater continues to thrive with a dedicated corps of volunteers and a loyal subscribe

r base. In 1955, Colonial Players purchased an old car repair shop on East Street, the current location of the theater. Numerous expansions and renovations over the years created the 180 seat arena theater we enjoy today. In 1989, Colonial Players purchased two units in the Renard Court industrial center on General's Highway which house the scenery and costume shops, rehearsal space, and a board meeting room. Our regular seasons have included classic, contemporary and cutting edge comedies, dramas, and musicals. Experimental theater, theater for children, works by new playwrights, one-act play festivals, workshops, talk-backs and forums, and our traditional production of A Christmas Carol fulfill our mission to entertain, educate, and enrich our community through the dramatic arts. Colonial Players continues working to develop and encourage appreciation of the dramatic arts both among participants and among members of our audience. All our activities are open to the public. Colonial Players is proud to have been a part of Annapolis's history for over half a century. During that time many of Annapolis's most talented and popular personalities have been associated with our theater, including former mayor, Dean Johnson. Explore our town and our history, and while you're here, please come see one of our shows. Standby tickets are usually available!

Continuing that 90s band feel.... we're serving medieval En Vogue, functioning like attentive All Saints, and with more sass than the Spice Girls. The maids of Poor Clare are entering their final weekend era, and frankly? They’re judging anyone who still hasn’t bought tickets.

Just THREE chances left before this whole thing goes Eternal. So gather your S Club, stop acting B*Witched by your own schedule, and come see the holy chaos everyone’s been obsessing over before we Say “Bye Bye Bye” for good.

Don't Look Back In Anger because you missed your last chance to see Poor Clare 😎✨

We asked the cast of Poor Clare describe their character’s TikTok debut and the answers ranged from:

✨ deeply unhinged
✨ spiritually superficial
✨ accidentally iconic

Apparently medieval Italy was just public feuds, emotional oversharing, rich girls rebelling, and men discovering poverty and making it everyone’s problem.
So honestly? Not that different from TikTok now.

Come meet the chaos live at The Colonial Players this weekend.

Anyone else getting 90s grunge band* vibes from "The Poor" or is it just us? 🤘🏽
Weekend 3 of Poor Clare is here, featuring rebellion, devotion, family drama, existential crises, and the energy of a teen girl discovering a band that changes her brain chemistry forever.
🎟️ Come see what all the emotional damage is about before it's too late.
*Like, their album "Under the Bridge" was totally life-changing....

Second weekend of Poor Clare is upon us, and apparently Francis has thoughts. Judgy thoughts. Honestly, he’s looking at you like you still haven’t bought tickets.

Come spend an evening with saints, scandals, questionable life choices, sharp wit, and enough medieval chaos to make your group chat look tame.
