A program of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis, '''Dignity Players''' sprang into action in December of 2004. Separating it from the various theater groups making their homes in the Annapolis region, '''Dignity Players''' founders Bryan Barrett, Mickey Lund, and Sue Struve established the new group to promote the “inherent self-worth and dignity of all people” through the production of plays and musicals containing a strong, liberal, open-minded message of life, liberty, justice for all, hope, and dignity. An all-volunteer organization, '''Dignity Players''' sought to involve members of the Unitarian Universalist Church community and the greater Annapolis area community, and to inspire action on social issues pertaining to the rights of all people, regardless of race, gender, creed, religion, or sexual orientation.

 

A third successful production took place in October of 2005. Eve Enlser’s ''The Vagina Monologues'' is based on interviews with over 200 women about their memories and experiences of sexuality. ''The Vagina Monologues'' gives voice to women's deepest fantasies and fears, guaranteeing that no one who sees it will ever look at a woman's body, or think of sex, in quite the same way again. Directed by local director Eric Lund, and starring the local talents of Wendy Baird, Darice Clewell, and Carol Cohen, ''The Vagina Monologues'' established '''Dignity Players''' as a new powerhouse theatre company in the Annapolis area.
