What a chilly evening! Havre de Grace is all aglow! Donât it feel like it might snow? Such a merry season! Donâtcha love it so? Merry Christmas, dearieâ time to go! To Tidewater Playersâ production of A Christmas Carol. Yes, itâs mid-November, and yes Thanksgiving is still two weeks away, but gosh darn it in the infamous words of Auntie Mame (yes, yes, different show, I know) ââŚwe need a little Christmas!
Itâs in the singing of a street corner choir! Itâs going home and getting warm by the fire! Itâs true, wherever you find loveâ it feels like Christmas! And it isâ the season of the spiritâ the message if we hear itâ is make it last all year! And since Tidewater Players is getting you into the season of the spirit a good six weeks ahead of time, we figured we could pick some of the featured playersâ brains all about their upcoming production of A Christmas Carol.
Donât you wanna join the crew? Youâll be all dead and evil too! JOIN THEM!! JOIN THEM!!
Itâs an annual tradition like Christmas Carol or Rocky Horror only so much more bad-ass and way more fun because of theâŚ
BLOOD.
Yes. Blood. For their ninth yearâ Evil Dead: The Musical returns (Deer in the Spotlight is producing this in the creepy back-gym of Havre de Graceâs STAR Centre this year) to get you SOAKEDâŚif youâre seated in the splash zone.
Grease is the wordâŚis the wordâŚis the word⌠is the word⌠itâs on stage⌠itâs here nowâŚ
At Tidewater Players for two weekends only (and be careful to pick your Grease very carefully when you make your ticket selections because Tidewater is offering Grease-OG and Grease-Elite, where the Elite production cast is comprised of performers age 55+ so if youâre hoping to see someone you know,
Turn your face toward Cockpit in CourtâŚlet your memory lead youâŚopen up enter in (to the F. Scott Black Theatre inside the Robert & Eleanor Romadka College Center) you will find thereâŚthe meaning of what happiness is⌠and a new showâŚwill begin. If it was mystical the first time, magical the second, it will certainly be memorable, magnificentâ truly Jellicleâ the third as Bambi Johnson (who has become synonymous with Andrew Lloyd Webber and T.S.
Jellicle Cats are Made-Up Cats. And not just that kind of made-up! Itâs a whole beauty palette coming at you from this Jellicle Cat!
Thank you so much for spontaneously agreeing to be a part of this series. Becky Flickinger has surprised us both with deciding that this was happeningâ right now* âas you, she, and Bambi were walking back from the theatre, previewing what the space was going to look like! So weâre both going to be doing a little impromptu improvisation!
Jellicle Cats are Scenography Cats! And Scenography Cats are Jellicle Cats! I donât think T.S. Eliot or Andrew Lloyd Webber had any idea that cats could build sets! Or maybe they did and just wanted to keep that a secretâŚlike a hidden third nameâŚfrom all the rest of us!
Thank you for giving us some of your time today! Tell us who you are and how you fit into this Cats configuration!
Reset your mind to island time. Because itâs five oâclock somewhere. And for the next two weekends, itâs five o’clock in Havre de Grace as the Tidewater Players presents Jimmy Buffettâs Escape to Margaritaville. Directed by Dickie Mahoney, with Musical Direction by Chris Rose, and Choreography by Evyo (and tap-choreo by Bambi Johnson), this âthrow-your-cares-awayâ silly good time show is just what the doctor ordered in these chilly winter months. And if you really want to be on âisland timeâ?
Forget about the Time Warp! And the Monster Mashâs no good!
Youâll have a much better trip rolling with these five to their CABIN IN THE WOOOOOOOODS!
Hi, Iâm Amanda. And I work at S-Mart run a reviewing site that has all your theatrical âin-the-knowâ needs (just like S-Mart only with fewer tires and frozen fish sticks.) I also canât count (which is why I chose a profession in theatre.) Evil Dead: The Musical is now in its seventh year of production!
Hey. I gotta prediction. You wanna hear it? Tidewater Players production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is going all the way! Donât write off this jukebox musical, featuring the music & lyrics of Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil (and a book by Douglas McGrath) because its actually a heartwarming story that reads extremely well on an intimate stage, like the one Tidewater Players is working with at The Opera House.
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant? Are you familiar with bell, candle, and book? Who better than to âknow the bookâ than the someone from the directing team? Purrpurr.
Thank you so much for giving us some of your time! Tell us who you are and how you got involved with this production of Cats.
Becky Flickinger: Iâm Becky Flickinger and my role with this production is the assistant director and Tidewater Liasson/Production Manager.
If youâre looking for something to see in Havre de Graceâs theatre district one dayâ Shoop da-doo!
You might pass by this place on Union Streetâ downtown-da-doo!
And sometimes in that there opera house buildingâ arts-da-doo!
Youâll find some crazy amazing theatre stuff happening insideâ Tidewater Players-da-doo!
But donât take my word for itâ take the urchinsâ! Or take Seymourâs! Theyâll tell you that Tidewater Players is putting on a pretty crazy,
Now is the time seize the day! Or in this case, âCarpe scaena!â And seize the stage like they did! Street Lamp Productions presentation of Disneyâs Newsies, Directed and Choreographed by Bambi Johnson, is well worth the drive to Rising Sun, MD. I reckon it may be a bit out of the way for some Baltimore City folk, (Admittedly, had my mother not lived in Colora for over eleven years, I may not have known about it either.) but I promise you itâs worth the trip.
Hey, pal! Feeling blue? Donât know what to do? Hey, palâ I mean you! Come on and shoot a president! Pretty darn appealing prospect, isnât it? Especially when you listen to their stories and hear it in their songs; you learn that angry men donât make the rules and guns donât write the wrongs! Everybodyâs got a right to their dreams! So come on, and shoot a president! But if youâd rather not take the rap sheet and fry up in the hoosegow,
I hate parading my serenading as Iâll probably miss a bar, but if this ditty is not so pretty at least itâll tell you how great they areâ they being the Phoenix Festival Theater and their current production of Anything Goes! One of Cole Porterâs finest musicalsâ baby itâs the topsâ is now setting sail under the Direction of James Hunnicutt and the Musical Direction of Julie Parrish. With Conductor Will Poxon leading the live on-stage orchestra,
