It is pretty clear from looking at the Google images that the Annapolis Summer Theatre building was never a movie theatre. This is confirmed by looking at http://www.kilduffs.com/RTA.html which shows photos of the former Republic, gives the address, states it was demolished a few years ago, and shows what is there today.
ASGT is an all-volunteer, non-profit community theatre with an outdoor stage. It produces “theatre under the stars” from Memorial Day to Labor Day each year. It has about 190 seats and is NOT a movie theatre. Visit www.summergarden.com for more info.
Storage, scenery, props, rehersals and such.
Okay, I get it. Do they use the building for storage?
The Summer Theatre is open each summer, it is a summer stock theatre. All live performances. They should be doing their auditions and choices by mid February. It should be listed as open. The shows themselves are put on outdoors right next to the theatre not inside the former Republic Theatre.
Chuck….If the article is correct, this theater is open and should be listed as the Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre at 143 Compromise Street.
LM, with relatives in Annapolis (Hilsmere Shores) I am fortunately a little familiar with Annapolis, Main St. ends at the circle at the harbor and it becomes Compromise St. The theatre is on the corner of Main, Compromise and Market Place. Compromise ends on the other side of the draw bridge so it is a short street.
This article mentions that “The Republic on Main Street (currently the Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre Playhouse)”. The Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre has an address of 143 Compromise Street. Could the article be incorrect?
