Laurel Mill Playhouse presents:
Miss Evers’ Boys
by David Fedshuh
directed by Loraine Brooks
produced by Marvin and Maureen Rogers
February 9 – March 3, 2024
Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse
Miss Evers’ Boys tells the story of Nurse Eunice Evers and the men in her charge, who, between 1934 and 1970, unwittingly participated in a US Health Department study on the effects of syphilis in the Negro male. The play was inspired by the book “Bad Blood” by James Jones, which explores the ethics of this clinical study and looks at how ideas about race and the perceptions of racial “differences” affect the quality, availability, and nature of healthcare in the US.

February 9 – March 2, 2024
Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm
2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse
Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms.
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Tickets for shows at Bowie Playhouse are $25.00 for General Admission, $22.00 for seniors (60 and over), military and full time students, and $15 for Children 11 and under. Buy tickets here.
