It may be cold. It may be gross outside. But that doesn’t mean you should stay inside. Here are four good reasons to bundle up in Annapolis this weekend:
Annapolis Opera’s ‘Don Giovanni’ (Friday)
“Don Giovanni,” an opera scored by Mozart, is being performed for two shows this weekend on Friday and Sunday. The Sunday show has already sold out, but there is still room at Friday night’s performance.
Annapolis Opera describes the show as a mix of comedy, drama and the supernatural. It will be performed in Italian but will feature English subtitles.
The opera says this is the first time “Don Giovanni” has been performed in Annapolis in 23 years.
The Colonial Players’ ‘Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors’ (Friday and Saturday)
For those who need their last-minute Halloween fix, the Colonial Players, a local theater company performing in Annapolis for over 75 years, will continue their run of “Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors” this weekend.
The play is described as a 90-minute Monty Python-style retelling of the novel “Dracula” featuring a gender-bent version of hunter Jean Van Helsing.
It started last week and is set to continue through Nov. 15. Sunday’s matinee is already sold out, but plenty of tickets are still available for the Friday and Saturday night shows. Both begin at 8 p.m.
SoFo Fall Greenscape (Saturday)
If the multitude of candy wrappers you go through on Halloween inspires you to offset your carbon footprint, SOFO Annapolis, representing (So)uth (Fo)rest Drive, will be holding its Fall Greenscape event.
The group is inviting SOFO members, neighbors and local businesses to come help beautify the area.
The event runs from 9 a.m. to noon. The group will meet up in the Truist Bank parking lot on Hillsmere Drive.
They ask that those participating bring gloves and tools, with SOFO providing the supplies
Last First Sunday Arts Festival (Sunday)
It’s your last chance this year to catch the First Sunday Arts Festival on West Street. The festival features products of all types created by local artisans.
If you miss this one, you’ll have to catch the festival when it returns next May.
That being said, there will be plenty more to do on West Street as the year comes to a close, like the Taste of Fall food event, the Chocolate Binge Festival, and more.
