Laurel Mill Playhouse presents
Towards Zero
By Agatha Christie
Directed by Larry Simmons
Produced by Maureen Rogers

January 20 – February 5, 2023
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

When a house party gathers at Gull’s Point, the seaside home of Lady Tressilian, Neville Strange finds himself caught between his old wife Audrey and his new flame Kay. A nail-biting thriller, the play probes the psychology of jealousy in the shadow of a savage and brutal murder. A carefully unpeeled investigation before our eyes brings the story to a pointed ending.

Ticket prices: $20 general, $15 students/military/seniors

LMP strongly urges that all patrons that come to LMP be vaccinated and wear masks. At this time, we will not require vaccination cards and masks in LMP but reserve the right to change the guidelines should the positivity rate rise significantly.

Out of the Vineyard: A Staged Reading
By Psalemyene 24

Saturday, January 14, 2023 at 6:00 PM

Location: Prince George’s Community College, In Person.

Center for Performing Arts, 301 Largo Road Largo, MD 20774

Playwright Psalmeyene 24 and Director Tony Thomas come together to bring a captivating stage play to the arts community. Come together to witness the beginnings of “Out of the Vineyard” in the staged reading of this commissioned play inspired by the book, “A Question of Freedom” by William G. Thomas.

Based on interviews with descendants of enslaved families and people connected to the history of freedom suits in Prince George’s County, “Out of the Vineyard” weaves together monologues that excavate a buried chapter in American history while illuminating how the legacy of slavery still affects us today.

The initiative is a program partnership between Prince George’s County Memorial Library System, Prince George’s Community College Center for Performing Arts, Prince George’s County Office of Human Rights, Joe’s Movement Emporium, and other organizations.

Tickets: free, registration required. here.

Kingdom Choices Enterprises presents
Scattered Choices
By LaTonya Bell-Jones

Saturday, January 14, 2023 at 6:30pm

Location: Bowie Center for the Performing Arts.

SCATTERED CHOICES was written to portray some of the good, bad, right, and wrong choices we make throughout our lives that affect our lives and/or the lives of others. Our hope is that you fall in love with the messages, characters, songs, etc. of SCATTERED CHOICES as the characters make modern day choices regarding sex, love, drugs, violence, etc. while attending the Kingdom Choices Retreat Camp (KCRC).

As the characters attend KCRC, they share the SCATTERED CHOICES they have made, will make, and/or are desiring to make with various expressions of comedy, love, anger, prayers, songs, violence, and dances. Most importantly, the characters learn from their booklet, “12 KINGDOM CHOICES to Live Heaven on Earth.” As such, they learn to call and turn the good and right choices they make into KINGDOM CHOICES which are choices that line up with the WORD of GOD.

It is our goal to give everyone who attends the stage play a free copy of our booklet so they too can have an understanding of KINGDOM CHOICES. Prayerfully, attendees will read it and come to an understanding that we desire to encourage or help you “Draw close to GOD as HE draws close to you” (James 4:8) in an intimate or more intimate relationship as a result of seeing our stage play and reading our booklet. To GOD be the glory, Amen!

NOTE: VIP Tickets include: Reserved Seating, Black Room Access with Refreshments (Intermission and After Show), Souvenir Wristband and/or Mug, and Autographed Program of Cast Members.
