Annapolis Entertainment
Love, a witch, and trickery all combine in Belle, Book, and Candle by The Colonial Players. The love aspect runs throughout; the witch is the main character; the trickery comes in with the witch’s predicament in her heart to abdicate her powers or fall in love. The show continues through early October. Visit http://tickets.thecolonialplayers.org/ for tickets, prices, and more information on this comedic yet romantic play.
Music always entertains, as those who frequent Ram’s Head already know. This week, the music ranges from hip hop to stand-up comedy. On Monday, see the bold and beautiful ZZ Ward.
