2014 is in full swing now and Annapolis entertainment is stepping up to the plate with even better events than those in 2013. There are new performances on stage, children’s events, and even an antiques show.
Annapolis Entertainment
The Colonial Players welcome 2014 with a new performance, available for viewing through the end of January. This show, Coyote on a Fence, is a rather heavy performance as the plot takes viewers through prison life of men who are doomed to death row. This play might be heavy, but it’s also enlightening and brave as it tackles subjects and emotions often shied away from. Book your ticket at The Colonial Players.
Rams Head always celebrates with music and this week is no different. First up, Bettye Lavette with St. Paul and The Broken Bones at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. This show is R&B and is sure to please with a cost of only $35. Thursday, music takes a backseat to ten glorious craft beers and the five-course meal perfectly paired together and presented by Fordham and Old Dominion. Flying Dog brews will be served. The price is $60 and dinner begins at 7 p.m. To accompany the food and brews, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band will perform, starting at 8 p.m. Friday, Chuck Brown All Star Gogo Tribute Band performs featuring Sugar Bear from E.U. This group hits the stage at 8 p.m. and costs only $30 to see. Saturday, Sonny Landreth croons on stage at 8 p.m. This show costs $35. Sunday, Ruthie & The Wranglers bring the sounds of the West to Rams Head at 7:30 p.m. This show costs $22.50. For more info on these events, visit Rams Head.

Annapolis History
The William Paca House is an authentic, lovely reminder of Annapolis’s past and on Saturday, January 11, the past opens up via the world of art. The acclaimed “Painting Interiors” with artists Jean Brinton Jaecks continues with a focus on the Paca House–its kitchen, parlor, or whatever scene moves the attendees. The workshop begins at 9 a.m. and costs $75. Go to Annapolis Historic Foundation for more.
Annapolis Families
Children’s Theatre of Annapolis is much loved for its showcase of young talent and vibrant performances all ages groups can fall in love with. This January 10 through the 26th, Children’s Theatre of Annapolis hosts their Shrek the Musical, which they call “part romance, part twisted fairy tale and irreverent fun for everyone!” The musical follows the same plot line as the famous first Shrek movie. Enjoy this heartfelt and comical performance with friends and family. Go to Children’s Theatre of Annapolis to learn more.
