First Nautical Festival

and Flea Market

September 3, 2011

Town Soccer Field, Oxford, Maryland

 The 1st Annual Nautical Festival and Flea Market will be held on Saturday, September 3, at the Town Soccer Field.

 Invitations have gone out to nautical arts and crafts vendors, which will be housed in a tent on the property so the event can go on rain or shine!
 The event, chaired by Guy Gauvin of Hinckley Yachts, will promote the Town of Oxford’s maritime background.

 In addition to the vendor portion, there will also be a flea market area, where local residents can try to sell their “boat stuff.”

 There will also be an area where boats will be on display that are for sale. Other plans for the day include a crab feast and live music in the early evening.

"The Big Bang"

 Two wanna-be producers preview their new musical (a history of the world, no less!) for theatrical backers in a posh Park Avenue apartment. You'll roll with laughter as they sing and dance their way from the Garden of Eden to the present, portraying Adam and Eve, Caesar and Cleopatra, Attila the Hun, Christopher Columbus and hundreds of others, trashing the apartment for costumes and props as they go. A smash of a tiny musical!

An intelligent and unnerving Gothic thriller!

"Ravenscroft"

Through August 21

Church Hill, Maryland

By Don Nigro and directed by Earl Lewin. 

 Don Nigro’s psychological drama is an intelligent and unnerving Gothic thriller — a dark comedy that is both funny and frightening.

 One snowy night, Inspector Ruffing is called to a remote house to investigate Patrick Roarke’s headlong plunge down the main staircase. He becomes involved in the lives of five alluring and dangerous women.

 There are ghosts on the staircase, skeletons in the closet and more than the inspector bargained for. You won’t guess the ending, just uncover the truth,or something even stranger.

 With Avra Sullivan, Caroline Hailey, Shelby Ruff, Sharon Gilroy, Alice Lindsay & Chris Rogers.
