Directions & Parking

In a small middle Appalachian town lives Esther, an artist in their 20’s who just wants to live a peaceful life in their little corner of the world. The catch: their family struggles to understand their art, their leisurely approach to life and, most importantly, their identity as a nonbinary person. They’re not hated or suppressed, just met with a consistent and annoying confusion.  As a result, Esther spends their spare time venturing into nature, trying to escape the constant stress of living. That is, until one day Esther finds an abandoned building occupied by a creature that will come to change their life forever.

Mythos of a Lost Nightmare is a new play by Cody James that bridges the gap between calm fireside storytelling and introspective expressionist horror, taking an unusual and deep look and gender identity in small town Appalachia.

Support the Weinberg

The Weinberg Center is an institution of value to Frederick. It is a vital part of the economic life of Downtown Frederick, attracting more than 85,000 patrons annually who visit shops, restaurants, and local stores. Furthermore, the Weinberg provides educational programs to over 8,000 Frederick county school children each year. And the Weinberg continues to bring world-class performing artists to the heart of downtown Frederick for our community to enjoy. We are committed to keeping ticket prices affordable for our community. So to cover the costs of the arts we present, the Weinberg — like theaters nationally — must find other sources of support. Please consider making a contribution to this historic theater.
