The Prince Theatre

A lovely and lovingly-​restored historic theater in quaint but still thriving Chestertown Maryland. While tourism seems to keep part of the Eastern Shore alive, there are clearly still farmers, watermen (and –women), local shop-​keepers, students, and academics (at places like Washington College), who make this seem something more than a museum piece like Harper’s Ferry, WVa or colonial Williamsburg. We attended a great Celtic music concert here during a romantic B&B weekend spent at the nearby Brampton Inn (5 big Unilocal stars). The brass fittings, red velvets, great light fixtures, marble surfaces, and the rest reminded us why we avoid the megaplexes and love to patronize restored, historic theaters (like the Senator in Baltimore, for example). So, a stop to Chestertown, MD should include a concert, play, or performance at the Prince. Totally worth the effort!

This is a beautiful Art Deco theater in the historic part of town. More things than just performances are hosted here.
