APRIL 3 – 26

Preview April 2
ASL Interpreted Performance April 10

A group of teenage girls creates mass hysteria as they accuse fellow villagers of witchcraft in the rigid Puritan society of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The accused face the choice of maintaining their ideals or conforming in order to survive in this play about the dangers of unchecked fear, the fragility of justice, and the consequences of history.

Spend an evening with performer/songwriter Nygel D. Robinson as he showcases original music and some of your favorite hits from Baltimore artists like Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, and Dru Hill with a twist, of course. He’ll also have a few friends joining him along the way.

Step into the shimmering world of The Glass Menagerie, Tennessee Williams’ haunting and beautiful memory play that has captivated audiences for generations. This deeply moving story, rich with longing, fragile dreams, and unforgettable characters, reflects the heart-tugging tension between hope and reality—perfectly resonant for anyone who’s ever chased big dreams while holding tight to family ties. As the Wingfield family navigates love, loss, and the tug of the past, you’ll be drawn into a world as delicate and stunning as the glass menagerie itself. Join us at Church Hill Theatre for an evening of poetic drama and emotional depth that will stay with you long after the curtain falls. Don’t miss this regional favorite!

A Soldier's Play is a gripping adaptation of the acclaimed 1984 film A Soldier's Story. This powerful production dives deep into the complexities of race, duty, and justice within the military, exploring the mysterious murder of a Black sergeant on a Louisiana Army base during World War II.
