Experience the play that has captivated audiences for over four centuries as Classic Theatre of Maryland opens its season with Shakespeare’s greatest masterpiece. Set within the intrigue of the royal court of Denmark, Hamlet follows a young prince haunted by his father’s ghost and driven to uncover the truth behind a shocking betrayal. As loyalty gives way to deception and revenge blurs the line between justice and obsession, Hamlet must confront impossible choices that will determine the fate of a kingdom.
Filled with unforgettable characters, breathtaking drama, razor-sharp wit, and some of the most celebrated language ever written, Hamlet is a thrilling theatrical event that explores ambition, morality, family, and the enduring question of what it means to be human. Timeless, profoundly relevant, and universally resonant, this extraordinary masterpiece continues to captivate each new generation, proving that Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy speaks as powerfully today as it did over 400 years ago.

A captivating tale of love and the supernatural with the Ballet Theatre of Maryland
Be transported to the rugged hills and misty skies of the Scottish Highlands in this quintessential Romantic work. Choreographed by August Bournonville in 1836, La Sylphide is one of the oldest surviving ballets.
As James naps on the morning of his wedding, an ethereal sylph perches beside his armchair and wakes him with a kiss. Captivated by this woodland spirit, he abandons his wedding and chases after her into the forest. Though they are overjoyed to be together, trouble is brewing: the sylph is so airy that she slips right through James’s fingers. A witch promises that she can make the sylph his own, but James fears what her true intentions might be.
Join us for the BTM premiere of La Sylphide! Featuring diaphanous sylphs, wicked witches, and spirited Highland dance, it’s a performance that’s not to be missed.

Just be mindful that some point-and-shoots don’t always let you adjust as many settings. With this in mind, please check in with us if you have something different so our Instructor can see what kind of digital camera you have before the workshop starts.

Other Things To Know

Cancellation

Due to the small size of our classes and the planning required, we are not able to issue refunds for missed classes. For classes with a waitlist, if we can fill your spot, we are happy to issue a refund.
