2024-'25 season
November 1-10, 2024
Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing.

The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall.

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen") inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced "Eye-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.
Help Our Cause
Governor Moore's proposed budget cuts will deeply impact many, if not all, Maryland theatres. The Maryland State Arts Council, through their grants and other support, is essential to all arts in Maryland. Please take time to let the legislature know how important the arts are, not only in Baltimore County, but all of Maryland. Below is a letter drafted by several theatres in Baltimore. Please feel free to share it with your friends and other supporters, but more importantly, with our elected officials.
Dear Governor Moore, Treasurer Davis, and Comptroller Lierman,
I am writing to express Third Wall Productions' deep concerns regarding Governor Moore's recent proposal of $150 million in budget cuts, which includes a recommended $437,000 cut to the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) budget. This represents a 1.5% reduction in critical funding that helps maintain the vibrancy of the arts sector across Maryland. As you know, our sector is still grappling with the lingering effects of COVID-19 and significant inflationary pressures. Such a cut could have devastating consequences for our field.
MSAC is a vital agency to our sector and the state, helping to contribute over $1.1 billion annually to Maryland's economy via its investment in the arts. The Council supports various programs, including public art, arts in education, and grants to individual artists and organizations. These programs enhance the quality of life for all Marylanders and drive significant economic activity across the state.
In FY23 alone, MSAC awarded over $21 million in grants, impacting every county in Maryland and directly supporting over 14,000 jobs. These funds reach community-based groups, many serving historically under invested communities, youth, and a significant percentage of artists and arts administrators of color. The proposed cut of $437,000 could eliminate hundreds of these crucial grants.
The Maryland arts sector is no stranger to tight budgets and challenging times; however, we ask that you consider our inherent value to the state and the access we provide to all Marylanders, making this state an incredible place to live and thrive.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. We appreciate your time and consideration in this vital issue.
Sincerely,
ADD YOUR NAME HERE
