Prince George’s Publick Playhouse presents:
Pocket Moxie: A Happenstance Vaudeville with Happenstance Theater
Friday, February 6, 2026, 7pm
Saturday, February 7, 2026, 7 pm
Prince George’s Publick Playhouse.
A light-hearted homage to the style and spirit of the Great Age of Vaudeville, an immensely popular theatre from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, comprised of specialty acts, song, and dance. Happenstance Theater’s five versatile players breathe new life into classic old routines from a ventriloquist’s dummy to a magic act that goes awry, from novelty songs and a musical saw to waiters juggling meatballs, all with full live foley sound effects. This show teems with hijinks, harmonies, nostalgic beauty, and physical comedy. This family-friendly show has something for everyone!
Tickets: $25 adult, $20 student/senior. Click here for info, and here for tickets.
