The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre has announced its 30 Anniversary Season for 2024. The theatre has been a leader in the area’s performing arts community since it first opened its doors in late 1990 as Keynote Dinner Theatre. In 1995, with a new set of owners, the curtain rose for the first time on The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre with its inaugural production, Let the Good Times Roll. Less than an hour from Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Gettysburg, Way Off Broadway is proud to bring Broadway to Mid-Maryland.

Agatha Christie’s
A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED
January 19 – March 2, 2024
An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock’s Victorian house. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, and a determined inspector grimly following the case’s twists and turns. Fortunately, Miss Marple is on hand to provide the solution – at some risk to herself – in a dramatic final confrontation.

It’s 1981 and the world is hungry for a royal wedding — but is the 20-year-old bride prepared for what comes after?

TOOTSIE
June 14 – August 24, 2024
Tootsie is the hilarious award-winning musical based on one of the funniest comedic films of all time, in which Michael Dorsey is a skilled actor with a talent for not keeping a job. Desperate and out-of-work, he makes a last-ditch effort at making his dreams come true…by disguising himself as actress Dorothy Michaels. In a meteoric rise to Broadway stardom, Dorothy soon has audiences falling at her feet while Michael (disguised as Dorothy) is falling for his co-star.
