The Amphitheater is located approximately 2 miles west of Indian Head Highway (Route 210) on Bryan Point Road in Accokeek, Maryland. Turn west from Route 210 onto Livingston Road. (NOTE: Livingston Road crosses 210 several times before you turn. The intersection you want is at B&J Carryout.) Immediately turn right onto Biddle Road. Immediately turn left onto Bryan Point Road. About 2 miles down on the right, you'll see a small sign for the Alice Ferguson Foundation and Hard Bargain Farm. This is the entrance to the outdoor Amphitheatre. Park at the first available space. The Amphitheater is a short walk using the lighted path to the left and down the hill. Handicapped parking is available. Please call 301-392-9901 to make arrangements.

Synopsis....

In 1925, while chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning a Kentucky cave into a tourist attraction, Floyd Collins himself became the attraction when he got trapped 200 feet underground. Alone but for sporadic contact with the outside world, Floyd fought for his sanity and ultimately his life as the rescue effort above exploded into the first genuine media circus. Reporters and gawkers from across the country descended on the property, fueling the hysteria and manipulating the nation into holding its collective breath. This haunting musical - one of the most acclaimed in recent years - tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer.

At New York's Central Park Zoo, a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and a hippo are best friends living a blissful domesticated life in captivity. When one of them turns up missing, the others search for him only to find themselves on a ship headed to the exotic island of Madagascar. When their boat wrecks, these native New Yorkers must take on a much different jungle in this computer-animated comedy.
