What’s Going On? Ocean City, Maryland, Activities, Events, The Heart of the Town? The Ocean!!
I think visitors that travel to Ocean City, Maryland go to this seaside resort for its beaches. The main attraction is the wide beaches, but Ocean City has such an interesting past. In the old days, when nothing was developed, Ocean City’s visitors came just to enjoy the beach, fish and to collect shells.
The first ocean front inn was built in 1869. After that, the town was surveyed and 250 beachfront lots were developed. The corporation that was formed to develop the land sold 4,000 shares of stock at $25 each. “Ocean City, at this time, was known as the “ladies resort to the ocean”.

Ocean City is know for its famous Boardwalk that stretches for many blocks; and its status as the White Marlin Capital of the World.
If you are visiting Ocean City, Maryland, here what’s going on:
Thursday, 4/26 – Saturday, 4/28 – A Feeble Mind by up-and-coming Boston playwright, Mark Mazzenga is being presented by Brown Box Theatre Project and directed by Ocean City’s own, Kyler Taustin.
A Feeble Mind is a tense, voyeuristic look at the struggling marriage between a 50’s era eugenics proponent and his virtuous young wife. Today, the United States eugenics movement is still at the forefront of the news, as seen recently in CNN’s story of the legal action being taken by victims of sterilization in California. Mazzenga’s play sheds new light on the issue through his examination of hypocrisy, morality, and affection.
The Captain’s Table Restaurant in Ocean City, will host Brown Box’s production. Tickets can be purchased online through www.brownboxtheatre.org.
