Ruxton Players

Ruxton Players The Ruxton Players is a community theater group that performs at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Most will be playing multiple roles.

Prolific from the 1930s to '70s, the Ruxton Players was revived in accordance with the Church of the Good Shepherd's centennial in 2010 with a production of "Hobson's Choice." Its second production, in 2012, was John Patrick's touching World War II drama "The Hasty Heart," starring Morgan Stanton, who earned the Baltimore Broadway World readers’ poll award for Best Actor in a Play (Non-Equity) for

his performance. The group's 2013 production of "The Scarecrow" by Percy MacKaye garnered 2013 Baltimore Broadway World acting awards for its leads John Robert Wright and Chelsea Blackwell. The group's fourth production since its revival is the 2004 John Cariani-penned play "Almost, Maine," which explores love and loss through nine two-character vignettes featuring different residents of a small, mythical town in Maine. As the aurora borealis light up the northern Maine sky one winter evening, the play’s characters face life-changing epiphanies both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Almost, Maine has been described as a 21st Century Our Town, as well as an excellent date play. The production's director is Bill Kamberger, who has been named “Baltimore’s Best Stage Director” by City Paper, Baltimore OUTLoud and Baltimore Broadway World. It features a cast of local actors: Tracy Hauser, Kendra Keiser, Larry Malkus, Clay McNally, Cassandra Miller, Jonathan Sachsman, Susan Schindler, Jennifer Skarzinski, and Mike Ware.

Thank you to the many friends, old and new, on stage and off, who helped make Almost, Maine a commercial, artistic, and spiritual success. So many people said it was their favorite of all the shows Ruxton has done since its renaissance, and we're already considering our next step, which should be even more exciting. Stay tuned! And in the meantime, please know how much you all are appreciated, treasured, and loved.

Local theater connoisseur Peggy Friedman writes: "If you haven't seen ALMOST, MAINE yet, it is a charming assortment of vignettes about love and loss. They are poignant as well as delightfully funny. I saw it tonight and haven't laughed so much in a long time. There is one more show tomorrow at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Towson at 3 pm, if you can make it. Congratulations to Bill, Guy and the superb cast!"
