Annapolis boasts a natural beauty and historic charm, complete with views of the Chesapeake Bay, the prominence of the Naval Academy, and a claim to being the sailing capital of the United States.
It is also rich in arts, entertainment and cultural attractions.
From talented musicians and artists, monthly festivals and events, to film and theatre, many strive to make Annapolis an entertainment destination in the same vein as the once sleepy towns of Austin and Branson.

Barclar Entertainment, LLC had the distinct privilege of serving as the Entertainment Consultant and Programmer for the Blackstone Amphitheater for Humanity and Conference Center for 5+ years.
Felicia is a progressive visionary and worked with a team to draw tourists to Annapolis to experience and grow an abundant entertainment and arts scene.
The Blackstone Amphitheater for Humanity and Conference Center was a proposed 15,000 square foot indoor/outdoor facility to serve Anne Arundel County and beyond, featuring holographic technology. The facility would have provided a much needed performing arts center and 60,000 square foot conference center designed for events and business functions.
Companies and entertainers from around the globe were excitedly anticipating doing business in Annapolis. The project was supported by renown leaders in the business world, as well as state and local dignitaries.
On May 18, 2014 the Blackstone Amphitheater was formally introduced to the Annapolis community through a fundraising gala at the Westin hotel. Senator Ed Reilly and Delegate Vitale presented Ms. Blackstone with a citation for the visionary project. Unfortunately, it didn’t get the local support it needed to survive.
