After a year of virtual shows, Maryland Ensemble Theatre will close out their 2020-2021 Season of Surprises with a brand new, in-person, outdoor production: Midsummer: A Most Rare Vision. 

It's no surprise that the holidays are going to look different this year, but there's one tradition that Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is thrilled to keep alive with the third production in its 2020-2021 Season Of Surprises: A Christmas Carol - The Audio Experience.

Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is proud to present Curse of the Starving Class. In this dark comedy, a family's survival in a harsh and changing world is put to the test. The play is set in a farmhouse in the American West, inhabited by the Tate family, who has enough to eat but not enough to satisfy the other pangs of hunger that bedevil them. As the show progresses, the characters fall victim to the dark underbelly of American life-and become benighted innocents pursuing a dream that remains beyond their reach.

Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is proud to present the funny and moving Stupid f**king Bird. The show which is "sort of" adapted from Chekhov's The Seagull by Aaron Posner will be helmed by Gerard Stropnicky. The play runs at MET for four weeks beginning February 12.

Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" is returning to Frederick for the twenty-second straight year with Maryland Ensemble Theatre's production at the Weinberg Center for the Arts. The cast of over two dozen actors portraying the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future and Tiny Tim will transport audiences to Victorian England as the penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge learns the error of his miserly ways and embraces the true spirit of Christmas.

Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is proud to present The Shape of Things, a play by critically acclaimed playwright Neil Labute that questions love, happiness, and relationship roles.

The play is both compelling and cautionary in its approach, and provides a satisfying twist that will have audiences discussing the plot long after leaving the theatre.
