Everything I learned that gets me through the worst, I learned at my Mama’s knee. And I invite her along plenty to come see musical theatre, out and about with me. And while she couldn’t make it to the opening of Cockpit in Court’s Footloose— my Mama says, it doesn’t matter, if you’re a first-timer or you been there before, you better get your tickets to see that show, before they ain’t got tickets no more!

Feeling a little tickle in your throat of late? Perhaps your eyes are watering a bit too much, or else you find yourself prone to attacks of unending sneezing. Good chance you have a bit of hay fever acting up. Doctor’s orders? Purchase tickets to see Cockpit in Court’s (in residence at CCBC Essex, The Robert & Eleanor Romadka College Center Cabaret Theatre) production of Noel Coward’s 1924 comedy Hay Fever.
Do you want to look into the bottom of your soul? How many of you would be okay with such a notion? What if you had no choice because you were a— Bad Seed? In a gripping drama, Cockpit in Court kicks off their 2025 summer season in the upstairs cabaret space with Bad Seed by Maxwell Anderson (based on the novel by William March.) Directed by Todd Pearthree, this spooky little tale may not be an Agatha Christie mystery,
I can’t see why people disagree each time I tell them what I know is true— and I’m telling people— the Suburban Players of Saint Demetrios’ production of Hairspray is where it’s at! Now run and tell that! Marking their 50th anniversary season, and the first of many area productions of Baltimore’s iconic musical, the Suburban Players of Saint Demetrios are putting on an extraordinary show— a true Bawlmer extravaganza, hon! And you won’t want to miss it!
Out there! There’s a world outside of Carney! Way out there beyond this suburb, Barnaby! There’s a theatre, Barnaby! Out there! Full of shine and full of sparkle! The Suburban Players of Saint Demetrios’ are glistenin’, Barnaby! Listen, Barnaby! Put on your Sunday clothes— or your Saturday clothes or your Friday clothes— and get yourself down to Hello, Dolly now appearing at The Suburban Players of St. Demetrios’ Greek Orthodox Church before that parade passes you by!
You’ve got to highlight what you’ve got! Even if what you’ve got is not a lot! You’ve got to be LOUD! And they are definitely loud! Loud with their lighting, loud with their costumes, and loud with their singing! Who’s being loud? Scottfield Theatre Company with their current production of Matilda. And even if what they’ve got is not a lot (of stage space) they don’t let a little thing like little stop them!
Sure as the day follows into the night, sure as the sky turns blue— this much I know, this much is true— Scottfield Theatre Company’s Something Rotten is the show for you! Because above all else— to thine own selves, they’re being true! It’s a mu-si-cal! That’s right— a mu-si-caaal. And it’s the polar opposite of its namesake!
