| | Drunk History: Cumberland Edition
History is about to get a little… drunk.
Cumberland Theatre proudly presents Drunk History: Cumberland Edition, a live comedy event celebrating the colorful characters, outrageous stories, and unforgettable moments that helped shape Cumberland and Allegany County.
Inspired by the hilariously unconventional way of telling history, our storytellers will take the stage after enjoying a few adult beverages and attempt to recount some of Cumberland’s most fascinating local tales. Expect questionable accuracy, unexpected detours, plenty of laughs, and a whole new appreciation for the people and events that made our town what it is today.
Come for the history. Stay for the bourbon. Laugh at what happens when the two collide. | Buy Tickets |
| | The Pillowman
By Martin McDonagh
With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, THE PILLOWMAN centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.

For decades, the story of the mean, green Mister Grinch discovering the joy of Christmas has delighted both readers and viewers. And now, you have the opportunity to bring Dr. Seuss' adored classic to your stage. Based on the iconic animated film and beloved children’s book, Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! features a book and lyrics by Timothy Mason and music by Mel Marvin. This duo expands on the timeless story, adding new songs that are bound to have everyone tapping their feet.
With a heart "two sizes too small," the Grinch despises the annual Christmas festivities of Who-ville from a solitary distance. Fed up, he carries out a plan to stop them once and for all, only to learn a lesson about opening his heart to the real meaning of Christmas. | Buy Tickets |
