Parental advisory: adult themes.

A black sergeant cries out in the night, “They still hate you,” then is shot twice and falls dead. Set in 1944 at Fort Neal, a segregated army camp in Louisiana, Charles Fuller’s forceful drama – which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 – tracks the investigation of this murder. “A Soldier’s Play” is more than a detective story: it is a tough, incisive exploration of racial tensions and ambiguities among blacks, and between blacks and whites that gives no easy answers, and assigns no simple blame.

All tickets for “A Soldier’s Play” are $15.00

For reservations, call the box office at (410) 757-5700 or (301) 832-4819, or purchase tickets online at this link.

Funny Money by 2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse, Jan 31 – Feb 16

Funny Money by 2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse, Jan 31 – Feb 16

Comedy by Ray Cooney
Directed by Fred Nelson

2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse

January 31 – February 16, 2014

Henry, a mild mannered British CPA, accidentally picks up a briefcase full of someone else’s ill-gotten gains. He decides to keep it and fly to Barcelona to start a new life, but his wife has other plans, and before they can leave, there’s an unexpected knock at the door. The circumstances that prevent Henry from working his way out of this problem are the kinds that only a master of farce like Britain’s Ray Cooney (author of Run for Your Wife and It Runs in the Family) could create. You’ll love this hilarious comedy of errors.
