ABOUT
A COMMUNITY THEATRE MANAGED BY THE COLONIAL BEACH PERFORMING ARTS ASSOCIATION
Rossum's Universal Robots by Karel Capek, is a futuristic drama about a small group of scientists who have discovered a way to create very human-like robots. What happens is not what the scientists expected. Come see how how our little theater features a cast of hundreds. Hint: Multimedia and CGI are involved. Get tickets now.
An upcoming special event!.
The Medicare Boyz are coming to Colonial Beach Playhouse. Colonial Beach’s beloved rock, blues and folk band has prepared a special performance for CB Playhouse, complete with their humor play on their Medicare status. The Boyz will share the inside story on some of the great popular hits from the past. At least as best they can remember! Dates are October 17 and 18 at
7pm. The Boyz will be donating their share of the proceeds to Colonial Beach Arts, Music, and Mentoring (BAMM). Tickets for this event are sold out.
YOU DID IT!
Through the generous support of our community, Colonial Beach's intimate indoor venue now has professional theater seating. Every penny spent on this seating and its installation is independent of ticket sales or any other source of funding. The Seating Fund started on Mother's Day 2023, with a party at the home of Paula Van Alstine and Ron Harris.That party raised over $4,000. On April 8, 2024, the new seats were installed.
In less than a year our dream came true, meeting the cost of the seating and professional installation, over $17,000! What a demonstration of this community's love for the arts! Yes, the theater has other needs, but for now the Seating Fund is closed as we all enjoy this amazing event!
Continuing improvements to our venue.
Improvements at our intimate venue at 108 Hawthorn in downtown Colonial Beach are continuing. The improvements to the front of our building are now complete. A beautification grant from the Colonial Beach Community Foundation paid for the majority of these improvements.
Inside, we have improved our emergency lighting. In case of a power failure, battery powered lighting will come on not only in the lobby, but in the auditorium, backstage, and even in the back yard. We have now completed work on our tech booth. Thanks so much for the your past contributions which have made this work possible.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT COLONIAL BEACH PLAYHOUSE . . .
Re: Four Old Broads: Wonderful funny show ... my wife and I may return to see it again.

Last night two of my friends and I went to the Colonial Beach Playhouse to see the Savannah Sipping Society. We were absolutely delighted and laughed all the way through the play! It was funny and also moving. The actresses were perfection and the stage ladies really got their groove on !! I hope that all of you beach people take the time to see this little gem of a play.
