presents Noises Off by
Michael Frayn May 30 - June 15, 2008
Fridays/Saturdays: 8:00 pm Sundays: 3:00 pm Tickets:
$15 adults; $12 seniors and students thru high school (Comedy)
The cast of Noises
Off
is rehearsing a Broadway-bound play called Nothing
On.
Watching them do so gives us an outrageously funny look at the
loves, lies, and deceit that take place behind the scenes.
Just when this ridiculously inept and chaotic cast finally
gets their performances right, everything starts to go wrong!
A joyous reminder that the theater really does go on, even when
the show falls apart.

invented Johnny Five from the cinema classic Short Circuit). With an
unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play
all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of
the producers in attendance will give them a Broadway contract -
fulfilling their ill-advised dreams. Landless Theatre Co. presents their original children's production,

Hard Bargain Players present: TALLEY'S FOLLY: The scene is the ornate, deserted Victorian boathouse on the Talley place in Lebanon, Missouri; the time 1944. Matt Friedman, an accountant from St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally Talley, the susceptible, but uncertain daughter of the family. Bookish, erudite, totally honest and delightfully funny, Matt refuses to accept Sally's rebuffs and her fears that her family would never approve of their marriage. Charming and indomitable, he gradually overcomes her defenses, telling his innermost secrets to his loved one and, in return, learning hers as well. Gradually he awakens Sally to the possibilities of a life together until, in the final, touching moments of the play, it is clear that they are two kindred spirits who have truly found each other—two "lame ducks" who, in their union, will find a wholeness rare in human relationships.. May 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17 - TALLEY'S FOLLY by Lanford Wilson - directed by Juliet Kelsey Chagnon starring Doug Graupman and Suzanne Donohue at the amphitheatre at Hard Bargain Farm (2001 Bryan Point Road, Accokeek, MD 20607).

The Mattawoman
Creek Art Center will host local artist J. Sutton Wooddy in her
solo show Past and Present May 2 - June 1.
Wooddy, a long-time Charles County
resident, is inspired by nature and captures its very essence in her
work.
From her studio on the banks of the Port
Tobacco River, Wooddy skillfully mixes color, texture and
line to invite the viewer to come with her into the outdoors, to
capture the seasonal moods of the wetlands, fields and woods; night
and glistening stars through arching branches; the clean freshness
of spring's new life; the muted changing hues of autumn and the
quiet peace of winter's frozen sleep."
The Mattawoman Creek Art Center will
host a reception for the artist on Sunday, May 4 from 1:00 -
4:00p.m.
Mattawoman Creek Art Center
is open Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays
