Classic Theatre of Maryland is Anne Arundel County’s only year-round professional regional theatre company. Their creative team and resident and guest artists bring Broadway, Broadway National and International Tour, and London’s West End credentials to Classic Theatre of Maryland. This is reflected in the outstanding quality of the work at CTM and is unparalleled in the region.

In addition, they have their monthly Cabaret series in partnership with the Unified Jazz Ensemble, which features special guest appearances by current Broadway performers and regional jazz vocalists.

Classic Theatre of Maryland continues to grow and expand its education program with professional-level workshops taught by master teachers, student matinees, artist-in-residence programs, pre-professional internships, and scholarships for students who would otherwise be unable to participate. And of note, all scholarships are guaranteed through each student’s high school graduation.
