First Date at Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre

Today, dating can be more complicated than ever. Anxiety, first impressions, awkward pauses, the pressure from others, letting your guard down, and giving others (and yourself) a chance can be overwhelming. But, there is hope of finding "the one" - and if you don't bail out early, you just may find something that will last.

Check out this hilarious and sentimental musical that explores the pitfalls and promises of a blind date in our modern, connected, yet disconnected, world.

When blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a casual drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. As the date unfolds in real time, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening. In a delightful and unexpected twist, Casey and Aaron’s inner critics take on a life of their own when other restaurant patrons transform into supportive best friends, manipulative exes and protective parents, who sing and dance them through ice-breakers, appetizers and potential conversational land mines. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?
