Brown Box Theatre Presents: Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure
September 19, 2019
FREE Admission
7:30 at Northside Park
Free Outdoor Shakespeare returns with political tragicomedy Measure for Measure. What happens when corruption reaches the highest level of court? Explore the price of principle, and witness what happens when the law is bent by those who serve to uphold it. A duke in disguise leaves the fate of his people in the hands of a ruthless judge. A loyal sister is faced with an important decision: save the life of her brother, or uphold her honor? Join us for Shakespeare’s timeless tale of deception, virtue, and honor, and decide for yourself whether justice is served.
All performances are FREE and open to all audiences. Outdoors, lawn seating; blanket or lawn chair welcome. No reservations required. Due to mature themes this play is recommended for ages 13 and older with the advisory of a parent.

Spartan Race
October 5, 2019
HUGH T CROPPER INLET, OCEAN CITY MD
It’s time to make a splash, Spartans. We’re headed to Ocean City, Maryland for some fun in the sun at the 3-mile Ocean City Spartan Sprint.
Don’t expect much lounging around on this beach vacation. You’ll be speeding through the sand, boardwalks and streets of Ocean City, all while weaving your way through 20 of Spartan’s most famous obstacles.
The Sprint may be our shortest distance race, but it’s still a favorite among both new and returning racers. It’s the perfect distance for those looking to start their Spartan journey. The Sprint also allows returning racers a manageable distance to see how far they can push themselves. Delivering 20 obstacles over 3 mi / 5 km, you’ll never run the same race twice. Once you complete the sprint you are 1/3 on your Spartan TRIFECTA: The ultimate Spartan achievement.
