Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre
The Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre is an all-volunteer community theatre organization that has been presenting theatre under the stars in the heart of downtown Annapolis, Maryland since 1966. Located in the courtyard of the Old Shaw Blacksmith Shop at 143 Compromise Street, the Annapolis Summer Garden Theater is an outdoor, 200-seat theater on the city dock that presents three shows a year during the summer months (last week of May through the first week of September). The property boasts a 300 year history and is a registered historic and cultural landmark. For more information, call 410-268-9212.
Children’s Theater of Annapolis
Children’s Theater of Annapolis stages two or more full productions annually with casts of 30 to 40 children on the Main Stage of the theater complex. Workshops, technical stage training, internships, and apprenticeships in the theatrical arts are just some of the continuing arts education held throughout the year. Approximately 7500 families in the greater Baltimore Washington Annapolis region are impacted by CTA annually. Founded in 1959, CTA is located at 1661 Bay Head Road in Bay Head Park, Annapolis.
In addition to arts education for 5 to 18 year olds, CTA provides a scholarship program. Graduating high school seniors who are members of CTA may participate in the Miriam Wolfe Scholarship, which was established in 1988 in memory of former CTA member Miriam Wolfe who was a victim of the bombing of flight 103 over Lockerby Scotland. The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage and recognize CTA high school seniors who will pursue an interest in the arts as a part of their continuing education in college.
Colonial Players
Colonial Players offers a wide variety of dramatic productions in the heart of downtown Annapolis.

The Colonial Players features a 5-show season including classics, comedies, dramas and musicals, as well as experimental theater, children’s plays, works by new playwrights, theatrical workshops, and more. Known for their annual production of “A Christmas Carol,” The Colonial Players perform in a 180-seat arena theater located in the heart of downtown historic Annapolis at 108 East Street.
