"Sigrid Trumpy: New Work" Exhibition and Artist Reception
2026-03-14 17:00 - 20:00 | Jo Fleming Contemporary Art, 68 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, Maryland, 21401
Throughout March (1-31) we are delighted to be showing “New Work” by Sigrid Trumpy. Although best known as a painter, Sigrid also has extensive experience in etching and drypoint. This background plays an important role in her recent paintings, where elements of printmaking naturally find their way into her work. Fine linear marks appear throughout the surfaces, echoing the qualities of etched lines.
Rather than aiming for polished perfection, Sigrid allows imperfections to remain visible. These irregular marks showing the movement of a living hand at work share her process as it unfolds.

CP presents spring musical: City of Angels
2026-03-14 20:00 - 22:30, 2026-03-15 20:00 - 22:30, 2026-03-19 20:00 - 22:30, 2026-03-20 20:00 - 22:30 | The Colonial Players of Annapolis, 108 East Street, Annapolis, Maryland, 21401
Book by Larry Gelbart, Music by Cy Coleman, Lyrics by David Zippel
Directed by Beth Terranova, Music Directed by Michelle Bruno
Performances are Thurs-Sat at 8:00pm, Sun at 2pm
A smart and stylish film noir musical. In the late 1940s, Stine, a bookish writer of detective stories, struggles to adapt his crime novel into a workable screenplay. As Stine tries to maintain some integrity in the backstabbing world of Hollywood, his protagonist, a hardboiled private eye named Stone, fights for survival in a city full of criminals and opportunists. With wit, humor, and a fantastic Cy Coleman score, City of Angels captures the snappy dialogue of a Raymond Chandler novel and the glitzy showmanship of classic Hollywood; the result is a crowd-pleasing musical unlike any other.
Please Note: Contains stylized violence, sexual innuendo, infidelity, and period-specific sexism and racism. Contains strong language.
