If you have a tall person in front of you, you will only see slightly left and slightly right. And I am Tall so for my view to be blocked, that was disappointing. We sat in front, Aisle "N". I even turned around and asked the woman in back of me if she wanted me to move so she could see. It's a former High School perhaps that's why. Parking is plentiful but far enough away they should consider lighting the front of Maryland Hall better. PLUS, tickets were very expensive.

There's not much of an angle so if a tall man or lady with 80's puff hair is in front of you, good luck seeing the stage. I am glad there's an arts center in Annapolis. Will look into their classes.

I LOVED the fact this performance held true to the narration in the book. I've never seen a production that really held true to how Dickens presented the story and characters. It was FANTASTIC.

I love plays that make me think so all in all a wonderful performance. Engaging and talented cast made me think about wanting to volunteer.

Went to my first show here recently after a long time wanting to try them out. It was a nice night…read moreoutside so that helped, but I could see if being a little hot sometimes since its technically open air. But that part is actually pretty cool too. I went to see Groundhog Day the Musical and was blown away by the acting and singing. The cast did a phenomenal job. It was their final day of the production so I know they were tired. But you certainly wouldnt have known that. They brought it 100%. Great set and great ticket value. i cant wait to go back next season

First time seeing them at Ram's Head in Annapolis on 1/25/2015…read more They were an enthusiastic, energetic team of performers that unfortunately just were mostly unfunny with just a few humorous moments. Their shtick is the standard "Whose Line?" game play with the audience - picking topics and keywords / using crowd interaction to try for comedic effect. Maybe they were having an off night, or maybe I was expecting more based on other reviews here, but they didn't knock my socks off, nor did they really rock the other three people I was with. Tickets were $17.50 each. I'd be interested in seeing them again maybe in an online video to see if they have a better laugh factor than I caught during my live visit. Long story short, I was disappointed, and wouldn't recommend them based on my experience.

An amazing group of performers. I have been to almost every show they have ever performed and have…read morenever once been disappointed. My husband and I love the fact that going to a Free Range Show is an evening guaranteed to be hilarious and unique. The show is interactive and the performers professionals. They perform at multiple venues at multiple times so it is not difficult to find a show time that fits into a busy schedule. Believe me, it is worth fitting a show in. The tickets are affordable and easily accessible through their website. Once you go, you will want to go over and over just to see what they can come up with. Because the content is based completely on audience suggestions (and sometimes the audience members even go up on stage and become part of the action!) no show is the same as the last. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I need more stars.

Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake was a really cool adventure for my kids. They loved all aspects…read moreof it! The adventure starts with a phone call. This isn't the type of adventure you can show up to on a whim. You have to schedule a visit in advance. I scheduled a date and time over the phone. They took my credit card info, a contact number and my kids' names. The first date I scheduled was cancelled due to inclement weather. Pirate Adventures called and cancelled the adventure about three hours prior to when it was supposed to start. I elected to reschedule right then. I was instructed to arrive a half hour before our adventure so the kids could get their faces painted and pick out a sash. We parked on the street a few blocks away not realizing they have a parking lot. We checked in, the kids were given name tags with their name and an alliterative adjective (ie Zig Zag Zora and Kung Fu Kieran) and then reported to the face painting and sash picking area. After face painting kids and adults boarded the boat and the Chesapeake part of the adventure began. The captain went over a few safety measures with the adults while his assistant went through guidelines with the kids. The adventure has a whole story with different parts involved that kept the seven kids on our adventure entertained. Ages ranged from probably three to fourteen. These parts included a map search, treasure hunt, key finding expedition, pirate fight and a final pirate bounty quest. For the adults, we just hung out under a shaded portion of the boat. I got up to interact with my kids a few times and to snap some pictures. Mostly I just enjoyed the boat ride. The whole adventure lasted almost two hours (counting face painting). If you have kids that love to pretend and don't mind riding a boat, Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake might be right up their alley.

Overall, it's a subpar experience--food, acting, staging, etc. However, in concept, it's nice, and…read moreone of the few places around here that does this. It's the same as the Chesapeake Music Hall.

First time taking granddaughters to a play. The…read moreactors/actresses were impressive. Was thoroughly entertained by their ability and singing! The cast members meet guests outside after the play, which I thought was a nice added value. The theatre itself is very impressive. Very clean and the seats seem to all have a great view. (They also provide booster seats for the little ones). You might want to bring a sweater, it is a little chilly. Be prepared as the audience is mainly friends and family of the cast - so there is considerable hooting and hollering for specific characters. (This was mentioned in a review from 2019 - so some things never change). As with bathrooms worldwide, there are not enough stalls in the women's restroom to accommodate the lines - especially during intermission. All things considered, I probably will not go back, because... being as this is A CHILDREN'S THEATRE and the play should NOT be 2+ hours! Holy Moly, how do you expect 4, 5, 6 or even 8 year olds can sit still that long? Sadly, I left feeling: set changes, a 20-minute intermission and about 6 songs too many, made me more than ready to go home.

My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed each musical show we've been to. From an educational perspective, they are also great. They offer numerous workshops, in addition to full productions, throughout the year. My boys have participated in numerous workshops. They have enjoyed and learned a lot from each session. I am very grateful CTA exists here in Annapolis.
