Founded in 1949, in the heart of downtown Annapolis, The Colonial Players is a community theater offering a wide array of dramatic productions ranging from comedies, musicals and dramas, to children’s theatre, workshops, one-act play festivals, and their annual production of A Christmas Carol. They also offer experimental theater and works by new playwrights.

Their mission has always been to entertain, instruct and enrich the community by the dramatic arts. These goals continue to thrive as the theatre maintains a small army of volunteers and subscribers. In 1955, Colonial Players purchased an old car repair shop, their current location, and in 1989, expanded to include space for props, costumes, rehearsals and administration. All activities are open to the public, as they have been for half a century.
