Escape to Margaritaville at Tidewater Players

Reviews February 24, 2024 Amanda N. Gunther

Reset your mind to island time. Because it’s five o’clock somewhere. And for the next two weekends, it’s five o’clock in Havre de Grace as the Tidewater Players presents Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville. Directed by Dickie Mahoney, with Musical Direction by Chris Rose, and Choreography by Evyo (and tap-choreo by Bambi Johnson), this ‘throw-your-cares-away’ silly good time show is just what the doctor ordered in these chilly winter months. And if you really want to be on “island time”?

Cabaret at Phoenix Festival Theatre

Reviews June 10, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

The county known as Harford is so wide, mein Herr. They’ve got theatres up and down and side to side, mein Herr. I don’t always get them all, at least I tried, mein Herr.

The Prom at Tidewater Players

Reviews February 25, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

“I don’t want to start a riot. I don’t want to blaze a trail. I don’t want to be a symbol or a cautionary tale.” Musical theatre is story first. Always has been. It’s the lyrics in the music which transports the story to the audience and at the end of the day, the story at the heart of The Prom is just about a person wanting to live their life like any other normal person and get to have all the things that any other normal person has.

Cats at Tidewater Players

Reviews September 17, 2022 Amanda N. Gunther

With Cats some say one rule is true: get your tickets for Tidewater Players’ production this fall. It is like no other production of Cats ever seen or that will ever be seen.

There are singing cats, there are dancing cats,

Jellicles Can And Jellicles Do: Meet Alonzo

Interviews September 2, 2022 Amanda N. Gunther

A sensible, everyday name for a cat…depending on where in the world you are at…could be perhaps… Jubalong… Cattivo… and Sambal… or perhaps something a little more adult, and a little more tomcat like. Something with bravado but not too certain…meow?

Thank you for giving us a moment of your time! Can you tell us who you are and which cat you play?

Stanton Zacker: I’m Stanton Zacker and I play Alonzo.

Avenue Q at Cockpit in Court

Reviews June 23, 2018 Lindsey Litka & Matt Wetzel

“You work real hard and the pays real low… and every hour goes oh so slow… and at the end of the day there’s nowhere to go…” but to Cockpit in Court’s production of Avenue Q! This raunchy and hilarious musical by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx is a modern adult take on the classic Sesame Street formula: adorable puppets living their day-to-day lives… It just so happens that these puppets live in the real world,

1776 at Tidewater Players

Reviews May 9, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

I say this with humility in this— online open space! They’re your responsibility in— good ol’ Havre de Grace! If you want to see their show and all the feelings that they spill, in Havre de Grace Opera House that’s halfway down the hill, then for God sakes get thee to it! For Congress never will! Yes, yes, it’s not even July and the Tidewater Players are calling to order the second continental congress of America with their production of 1776.

Territory folks should stick together! Territory folks should all be pals! The cowboys dance with the farmer’s daughters; the farmers dance with the rancher’s gals!
