This year’s theater season in Annapolis includes Shakespeare, at least two productions of “A Christmas Carol” and a variety of performances from local companies.
But there is probably just one play being staged in a laundry on Maryland Avenue.
When Bob Barlett was living in Annapolis five years ago, he would spend his Sunday nights at The Avenue Laundromat, 74 Maryland Ave., doing, well, laundry. But he didn’t just watch the dryer-full of clothes roll to pass the time. “I wrote a play — a time-bending romantic comedy — set in that laundromat,” said Barlett, a Davidsonville resident who works as a professor at Bowie State University.
The plot: Bear can’t shake his propensity for accidents until Chance, an unemployed paramedic living in her 1978 Volkswagen Beetle, wanders into his lonely world. Only about a dozen audience members will be seated per performance of “The Accident Bear” from Nov. 30 to Dec. 22.
Tickets go on sale Monday for $25 and are available at www.bob-bartlett.com
