Dust off an ancient console, jam in your favorite cartridge, and practice your overly long attack combos as you set forth on an homage to the games you know and love. In this show, you're the player, naming the characters, their backstories, and ultimately deciding their fate on an epic journey through a fantastic land of pixels and comedy.

Garbage Quest is an original semi-improvised homage to retro video games, presented by Baltimore Rock Opera Society featuring the band Garbage Masher. BROS puts the controller in the audience's hands, guiding our plucky adventuring party through quests, romance, and against the evil forces of Monetization in this 1 hour celebration of gaming, fantasy, and electronic music.

Two One-Act plays written and directed by TU Department of Theatre Arts students.

Hiding in the Light of Day
by Humatabae Smith | directed by Makayla Hamilton
In the 1950s, a woman and her son travel from the deep south to make their way up to Goldsboro North Carolina. Will they make it to their destination? Or will something or someone derail them?

6 Days
by Shamar Martin | directed by Christian Smith
6 days is a comedy exploring the different ways humans connect with one another through love, curiosity, anger, and laughter.

After unexpected roof repairs delayed our original opening in September, Church Hill Theatre is delighted to offer its production of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express from October 17 to November 2. The stage play is an adaptation by the hilarious American playwright Ken Ludwig, who was asked to take on the project by the Christie estate. Director Kat Melton will propel her cast on a vintage steam locomotive through the snowy alps. Her use of sound, lights and projections will have you on the edge of your seat as Hercule Poirot uses his “little grey cells” to solve yet another mysterious death!

Even if you have read the book a dozen times, the plot remains a real tease, as almost every passenger has a reason to murder the odious American businessman, Samuel Ratchett. Hercule Poirot’s interviews soon uncover connections to a past kidnapping case and other secrets. Passengers include titled Europeans, several Americans, and many with hidden identities. Melton has made room for several smaller parts that enrich the plot and the production. These other passengers, the ensemble, help move along the action—and the scenery. The clues mount up, but is anyone telling the truth? Bien sure, Poirot will of course prevail!

The strong production team is especially proud of the set and effects that really bring a steam locomotive and luxury passenger cars onto the stage. Almost all of our original cast members adjusted their schedules to catch this train but a few understudy substitutions of equally talented actors have been required. The entire cast and crew know this could be your “favorite-ever” show.

It runs from October 17 to November 2, with shows at 7:30 on Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 pm on Sundays. Tickets are available now online at churchhillltheatre.org or by calling the box office at 410-556-6003. If you had tickets for the original September show, you should already have been contacted by the box office to arrange new dates. If there is any confusion, please call the box office.

Church Hill Theatre would like to express its grateful thanks to all of the friends and patrons who supported us during the whole repair process. Your kind words and financial generosity have been heartwarming. THE SHOW WILL GO ON!!!

Squeaky clean couple Brad and Janet have some car trouble and are forced to seek refuge in the gothic castle of the mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Upon their arrival, Frank-N-Furter and his kooky staff of Transylvanians open up the couple’s minds in ways they never imagined.
