Puffs at Silhouette Stages: Revenge of the Nerds,” Potter Style
Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a side character in a story? To not be the hero, but just another onlooker? Matt Cox’s Puffs at Silhouette Stages examines this idea in hilarious fashion as we delve into the world of a Certain School of Magic and Magic. A riotous romp through mediocrity,
It’s the best day ever! The best daaaay eveeer— but only if you’ve got your tickets to see Silhouette Stages’ production of The SpongeBob Musical! Campy and wholesome, this quirky little diamond-in-the-kelp musical comedy is suitable for all ages and is bubbling over with talent, enthusiasm, and a great deal of F-U-N to be had by all!

If nautical nonsense be something you wish—
Then hop on the deck and flop like a fish!!
Or… maybe less fish-flopping and more… box-office buying? Yep. That’s the ticket. You can fish-flop to the Silhouette Stages Box Office (online!) and get your tickets to their upcoming production of SpongeBob: The Musical. Touching, hilarious, and full of heart— this zany, cartoon-come-stage-musical is splashing into Columbia and we’ve got the scoop from SpongeBob and Patrick Star!
I’m going to be honest. I’m not Adam Sandler’s biggest fan— or even really a fan, period— by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t like most of his movies, I think he thinks he’s funnier than he actually is, and on the whole, although we’re living in the golden “Oprah Era” of musicals (“…you get a musical, you get a musical, you get a musical, everybody gets a musical!”) and this particular one is not ‘new’ per se,
Do you suffer from ADHD and Dyslexia? Does trouble follow you everywhere you go? Do seemingly random people in your day-to-day life that nobody else can remember being there spontaneously turn into scary monsters trying to kill you? You might be a Demigod! A word of caution: when attempting to self-diagnose Demigodism, move at the speed of a mortal: very, very slowly. Or maybe you’re just thrillified that Silhouette Stages is producing The Lighting Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical.
The flowers of Columbia are like the women in the theatres of Columbia. Every stage of their growth has its own beauty, but the last phase is always the most glorious. And after two-years of growing this phenomenal theatrical flower, Silhouette Stages is finally ready for their production of Calendar Girls to bloom upon the stage in all of its radiant glory. Directed by Conni Trump Ross, this heartwarming, evocative play by Tim Firth is the perfect way for Silhouette Stages to welcome back audiences to live,
The long-awaited production of Calendar Girls is finally making its way to the stage! Silhouette Stages production of the show, directed by Conni Ross, was originally slated for the Slayton House stage in March of 2020. The show was in its final phase of tech week when the pandemic shuttered the world, shutting down the state and all live-theatre with it. Two years later, with indefatigable hope and a feeling of triumph, director Conni Trump Ross has given us some time in a one-on-one,
Thank you, Madam (and gents and everyone), do come again, do
come again— to Silhouette Stages to see a rather invigorating production of She
Loves Me, Directed by Stephan Foreman with Musical Direction by Andrew
Zile. The dated and somewhat stale musical finds a vivacious new life under
Foreman’s magical direction; his attention to detail, precision casting choices,
and overall approach to the performance gives it a bubbly exuberance that makes
for a thoroughly enjoyable evening of musical theatre (even if they are
tricking you into your first Christmas show of the 2019 calendar season— in
mid-October.)
The sun on Columbia is summery warm. It’s shining on a
theatre gem. So gather together and see their show. Tomorrow belongs— to them.
Silhouette Stages mounts the production of the season— Kander & Ebb’s Cabaret as Directed by Stephen Foreman,
with Musical Direction by Michael Tan and Choreography by Aime Bell. Truly not
your momma’s Cabaret, this heady and
intoxicating production doesn’t just showcase the darkness burbling readily
beneath the surface of the iconic Kander &
Move toward the darkness.
Don’t avoid despair.
Creep into Silhouette Stages
And you’ll see what’s there!
They’ve got family first— and family last— and family through and through! They’ve got The Addams…and now they’re waiting just for you! After its run on the circuit of community and professional houses all over the tristate area, The Addams Family musical has risen from the dead in time for Halloween and is taking up a three-week residence at Silhouette Stages.
Who among us is not guilty of embellishing a story here and there? Whether exaggerating about our feats of derring-do, or adding a few inches to that fish we caught when we were a child, stories have a way of taking on a life of their own when we tell them. In this case, there is “Magic in the Man” through the larger-than life stories Edward Bloom tells his young son. But all children must grow up,
It’s a beautiful day for an anti-polio picnic! It’s a beautiful day to get a polio shot!

Something funny’s going on and it isn’t very pretty.
This is how it all began: with a murder of a man!
In Columbia City, Maryland— something funny’s going on. There’s a lot I haven’t told yet— there’s a musical, a show, and it’s real important you go!

It’s just another day, and it’s gonna be good at Silhouette Stages as they live life on a latte and a prayer while getting Next to Normal underway as their final production of the 2015/2016 theatrical season.

Life is really up to you, you must choose what to pursue! Set your mind on what to find and you’ll find an epically entertaining production of Monty Python’s Spamalot at Silhouette Stages in Columbia.
