ABOUT
A COMMUNITY THEATRE MANAGED BY THE COLONIAL BEACH PERFORMING ARTS ASSOCIATION
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 it's installation is independent of ticket sales or any other source of funding. The Seating Fund started on Mother's Day 2023, and in less than a year YOU made this dream come true, raising 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!
The happy faces of our Board of Directors on installation day, April 8. L to R, Bucky Doerr. Dan Staicer (Secretary). Mario D. Haggerty, Stephen Thompson, and Eric Christiansen (President). Sher Lee (VP) and Thom Savage (Treasurer) were out of town on other adventures.
Our next play.
Honky Tonk Angels, by Ted Swindley, is a musical about three gutsy gals from different backgrounds who take charge of their lives. They decide to follow their honky tonk dreams to the city of Nashville. Combining 30 classic country tunes (including “Stand By Your Man,” “9 to 5,” “Harper Valley PTA” and more!) The Honky Tonk Angels is a hilarious, foot-stomping good time. This show, coming in June, will likely sell out. You have been forewarned. Get your ticket now! Click here.
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.

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.
