Colonial Players offers a wide variety of dramatic productions in the heart of downtown Annapolis. Founded by a group of Annapolitans dedicated to bringing high quality theater to what was then a very small town on the Chesapeake Bay, the theater continues to thrive with a dedicated corps of volunteers and a loyal subscriber base.

Our regular five play seasons have included the classics, contemporary comedies, dramas, and musicals. Experimental theater, theater for children, works by new playwrights, one-act play festivals, an array of workshops, and our annual production of A Christmas Carol fulfill our mission to entertain, educate, and enrich our community through the dramatic arts.

Colonial Players continues working to develop and encourage appreciation of the dramatic arts both among participants and among members our audience. All our activities, especially auditions, are open to the public. Colonial Players is proud to have been a part of Annapolis' history for over half a century. During that time many of Annapolis's most talented and popular personalities have been associated with our theater, including former mayor, Dean Johnson.
