A Man of No Importance
music by Stephen Flaherty
lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
book by Terrence McNally
based on the 1994 Albert Finney film
directed by Julia Arbutus
April 12 – May 4, 2024
Location: Greenbelt Arts Center
This musical is really about a man finding himself and his place in the world far later in life than maybe he had planned to. I really want this production to be a celebration of that journey to self-acceptance and self-actualization — no matter what time of our lives we’re at, we deserve to feel like we belong.
Ticket prices: $27 General Admission, $24 Seniors/Military, $14 Student/Youth. Buy tickets here.
Prince George’s Publick Playhouse presents:
The Lonely Lion
Tuesday, April 9, 2024, 10am
Prince George’s Publick Playhouse.
This heartwarming story is about a lion who has a terrible secret–he is scared of everything and he’s scared of anyone finding out! Over the course of the story, Lion must face his fears and overcome his shyness to break out of his shell and help a friend in need — if he’s ever to become the ‘King of the Beasts’ he’s meant to be.

Shadow Hour
by Ralph Tropf
directed by: Nicole Mullens-Teasley
April 5 – 28, 2024
Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM, Sunday matinees at 2PM
Location: Bowie Community Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse
General Admission – $25.00, Seniors (62+) & Students – $20.00.
Shadow Hour is an exciting courtroom drama for the stage. A jury is given the task of assigning guilt or innocence to a United States Senator accused of sexual assault. As the jury debates the testimony, flashbacks to the trial show how the members of the panel interpret the evidence through their own bias. Flashbacks to the actual events of the “crime” show how the witnesses themselves also add bias to the evidence. The truth is lost in shadows.
