Upcoming Southern Maryland Theatre Productions

Wade’s List of

Current & Upcoming Southern Maryland

(and beyond!)

Theatre Productions

I started this list as a Facebook post in the Summerstock Facebook group after attending a show at Toby's where the emcee encouraged everyone in the audience to support their local high school theatres, an idea that I wholeheartedly support. Eventually I moved the list to my personal page for easier sharing, and now I've moved it here.

Basically, this list is all of the theatrical productions I am aware of in Southern Maryland (St. Mary’s, Charles, and Calvert Counties), and other shows in Maryland, DC, and Virginia that I’m interested in seeing and think others may be as well. In no way is it intended to be exhaustive (except for school shows! I really try to list all I know of!). I only list the opening and closing dates for the shows (except for school shows with no online tickets). Use the links to find exact show dates and times, and to get your tickets.

If you know of other upcoming shows or see that I have incorrect information, please email me.

I keep finding mistakes/typos which are so annoying to this grammar nerd and perfectionist! If you see anything that doesn't make sense, let me know.

And now, without further ado . . . . .
