Set in the 1800s in Dorchester County, Maryland, this exciting, drama-filled play follows the life of Harriet Tubman in her formative years of life. It portrays how community was a central component of survival for her as a child and the need to keep community intact.

Born into enslavement, Araminta as a child knew there must be a better life outside of enslavement and set out to ensure life as a slave was no more for her and her community. She keeps returning to steal slaves to keep the support of community intact. Araminta: An American Shero, a story of a community’s love, respect, relationships and tenderness, honors the perseverance of Harriet Tubman.

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.
