Get your tickets for “Night Watch” May 6-13

“Night Watch”, a psychological thriller directed by Wanda Dittmann

Two weekends only!

Unable to sleep, Elaine Wheeler paces the living room of her Manhattan townhouse, troubled by unsettling memories and vague fears. Her husband tries to comfort her, but when he steps away for a moment Elaine screams as she sees (or believes she sees) the body of a dead man in the window across the way. The police are called, but find nothing except an empty chair. Elaine’s terror grows as shortly thereafter she sees still another body—this time a woman’s—but by now the police are skeptical and pay no heed to her frantic pleas. Her husband, claiming that Elaine may be on the verge of a breakdown, calls in a lady psychiatrist, who agrees with his suggestion that Elaine should commit herself to a sanitarium for treatment. From this point on, the plot moves quickly and grippingly as those involved—Elaine’s old friend and house guest Blanche; the inquisitive and rather sinister man who lives next door; and the nosy German maid Helga—all contribute to the deepening suspense and mystery of the play as it draws towards its riveting and chilling climax.

Rocky Horror PRIDE Show June 25 @ 11pm

Rocky Horror Act, in conjunction with the Potomac Playmakers, will be hosting the Rocky Horror Pride Show on Saturday, June 25th! Frank ‘N’ Furter and his motley crew will be doing the time warp once again in this shadow cast performance alongside the cult classic film, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this kitschy sci fi gothic is more fun than ever. Tickets are $15 and children under 17 must be accompanied by an adult.

'Buy a Seat' Plaque Campaign

With the Potomac Playmakers "Buy a Seat"  campaign, you can name a perpetual seat in the Lee Stine Auditorium for only $125. A commemorative 1.5" x 3" brass plate will be placed on the back of one of the seats in the theatre. We cannot ensure the specific placement of each plaque location, but early donors will be placed in the frontmost rows. You are not purchasing the seat for your use during the season, and naming rights do not guarantee that you can sit in that seat when you come to a Playmakers' production. In addition to the permanent plaque you receive a 1-year membership in the Potomac Playmakers, which enables you to vote at the Annual Meeting in our election to the Board.

Take me There!
