Life is short. The complete works of Shakespeare are long. To the rescue: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) performed by three of Annapolis Shakespeare Company's brightest and funniest. They wrap up the Bard's outsized oeuvre in 90 rib-tickling, madcap minutes. After warming up with a nothing-is-sacred send-up of Romeo and Juliet, they're off, dispensing with the comedies in one fell swoop -- because the tragedies are funnier. Othello becomes a rap song, Titus Andronicus, a cooking show, and the show's unforgettable finale, Hamlet, is told with the help of audience members and lascivious sock puppets. While the most theater-adverse will appreciate a version of Hamlet that clocks in at a whopping 43 seconds, more scholarly types will love the many winking references to their favorite stories and Bard trivia. Enjoy the zany tour de force performed by the Annapolis Shakespeare Company in the outdoor courtyard at Reynolds Tavern.

Few plays are as gorgeously written -- or as heartwrenching -- as Shakespeare's tale of star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. More than four centuries after its first staging, few works in any medium match the intensity and beauty of this timeless tragedy. Two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, have been feuding for years. But when young Romeo Montague goes out with his friends to stir up trouble at a Capulet party, he spies Juliet, the Capulets' daughter, and falls hopelessly in love. Will love conquer all? Or will these two young lovers get caught in the crossfire of their family's bloody feud? See for yourself when the Annapolis Shakespeare Company stages this iconic play.

Crushing by Compression: When Golf Ball and Club Collide

While instructors may advocate different methods of swinging a golf club, the ideal outcome is always the same. Read on to learn about the physics of the collision between the club and ball.

It’s said that golf can take a lifetime to master, but just about every shot takes only milliseconds. In fact, the actual collision between club and ball lasts only around 450 millionths of a second, and it’s here where the biggest action of a golf swing takes place. In a desirable outcome, two things happen as the center of the clubface strikes the ball: first, the club’s momentum transfers to the ball; second, the impact causes the flexible ball to compress, adding extra velocity as the ball springs back into shape. The more compression, the farther the ball will travel. With lofted clubs such as the 6-iron, the clubface strikes the ball on a downward trajectory, scooping out a divot of turf in the meantime. This creates even more compression by pushing the ball into the dirt before it leaves the ground. Before launching skyward, the ball scoots up the lofted plane of the clubface, rubbing against the grooves to create backspin that will help it maintain its trajectory and fight through any wind resistance or asteroid fields. If the club is angled at impact, i.e., not facing square to the target, it will cut across the ball, creating sidespin and resulting in either a hook or a slice.

When it comes to the golf swing, there are many different styles and schools of thought—each with its own variation on setup, grip, backswing, and follow-through—but there are some universal techniques that help create an effective and explosive impact. For instance, at the top of the backswing, golfers should have their wrists cocked at a 90-degree angle. To generate optimal clubhead speed, they wait until their hands drop to their waist until they release their wrists, effectively whipping the clubhead through contact and adding punch to an otherwise smooth, steady swing.

With more than 35 million albums sold and legions of devoted "Deadheads" who followed the band on tour from city to city, the Grateful Dead were an unstoppable musical force at the center of the counterculture movement. Now the music of this pioneering and genre-bending group finds a new home with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. In this concert at Joseph Meyerhoff Hall, the orchestra performs Lee Johnson's "Dead Symphony No. 6," an orchestral suite inspired by ten Grateful Dead songs including "Mountains of the Moon," "Stella" and "Sugar Magnolia."

The hit musical Hairspray is boppin' onto Baltimore's Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, and it's piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and infectious tunes. Set in 1960s Baltimore, Hairspray tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a misfit teenager who becomes a local celebrity as a dancer on TV's Corny Collins Show. Her love of dancing leads her to become an unlikely heroine, triumphing over snotty teen queens and racial segregation, while keeping her big hair and big dreams firmly in place. Experience the fun all over again (or for the very first time) with this semi-staged concert production which features a live orchestra, vocalists and John Waters -- who directed the original cult classic in 1988 -- as narrator.

Baltimore, Maryland: World-Class Museums and Historic Waterfront Neighborhoods

Baltimore’s Inner Harbor—a busy port that was redeveloped as a tourism district in the mid-20th century—has become one of the city’s best-known and most beloved landmarks. Water taxis ferry visitors from one historic, cultural, or family-friendly attraction to another. Sites along the routes include the star-shaped Fort McHenry (where US forces repelled the British during the War of 1812, inspiring Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner”) and restaurants where you can sample the city’s famous crab cakes.

You’ll find several unique museums here, too, from the National Aquarium—which houses more than 16,000 sea creatures in realistic habitats—to the wonderfully oddball American Visionary Art Museum, one of the country’s leading institutions for outsider art. For a stunning view of the skyline, the Inner Harbor, and Chesapeake Bay, head up to the 27th floor of the Baltimore World Trade Center, where you can see the city from 360 degrees at the observation deck.

Baltimore is made up of many little neighborhoods, each with its own personality. Mount Vernon, one of the oldest, has been a fashionable part of town since one of the country’s first monuments to George Washington was built here in 1829. Today, the neighborhood’s elegant 19th-century townhouses share space with The Walters Art Museum and the Lyric Opera House. In Fell’s Point, lively taverns and restaurants line the cobblestone streets of this waterfront district that was a pit stop for sailors in the 1700s.

Quiet Getaway in Secluded Baltimore County Community

At the foot of a cobbled path, neatly groomed evergreens nuzzle the gabled roof of the Hunt Valley Inn, which stands against a backdrop of quiet Maryland countryside. In the lobby, a rustic sensibility blends with modern touches: wooden beams line a ceiling accented by lanterns, and a fireplace roars near stylish couches.

In guest rooms, light spills from floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating pillow-top mattresses dressed in plush linens and pillows. Cardio equipment and free weights line the onsite fitness room, which is accessible by flashing a guest-room key card or shouting last week’s winning lottery numbers. Breakfast in the Cinnamon Tree restaurant helps fuel early-morning workouts or sightseeing excursions.

Hunt Valley, Maryland: Tranquil, Natural Sanctuary Near Bustling Baltimore

Hunt Valley does not appear on most maps—nestled within Cockeysville, the unincorporated town provides a quiet escape from nearby Baltimore’s bustle. Shawan Road, the closest thoroughfare, reaches westward toward Oregon Ridge Nature Center, which unfurls across more than 1,000 acres of wilderness. The park frequently serves as the setting for outdoor events including maple-syrup weekends, honey-harvest festivals, music in the woods, and full-moon hikes.

The Maryland State Fair Grounds sit on a 100-acre plot of land located about 5 miles south of Hunt Valley. Although the annual state celebration spans only 11 days in late August and early September, the fairgrounds stage year-round events such as motorcycle races, robotics conventions, and car shows.

For travelers venturing into Baltimore, the city’s thriving Inner Harbor—crisscrossed by convenient water taxis—bustles with a multitude of cultural and historical attractions. Visitors can surprise a fisherman on his birthday by sticking candles in the city’s trademark crab cakes, which are served at many restaurants along the water. Among the area’s must-sees is the National Aquarium, which houses 16,000 specimens of marine life.

• In-room amenities: Each guest room features a balcony, 32-inch flat-screen TV, microwave, refrigerator, and coffeemaker.

Ocean City, Maryland: Family-Friendly Boardwalk next to the Atlantic

Along Ocean City’s century-old boardwalk, you can savor wild-caught blue crab, play old-fashioned arcade games, and watch candy makers spin colorful saltwater taffy. The lively boardwalk, which stretches for three miles along Maryland’s eastern shore, helped earn Ocean City a spot on USA Today’s list of the “10 great places to have some fun on a boardwalk.” Kids can ride a ferris wheel, roller coaster, and more thrilling rides at Jolly Roger at the Pier. Young children can visit Jolly Roger at 30th Street to ride a carousel, iron horse train, helicopters, and many more attractions.

Assateague Island National Seashore—a 37-mile stretch of salt marshes running from Ocean City down to Virginia—offers a peaceful reprieve from the boardwalk’s constant activity. The island’s famous wild horses gallop on the shores, and you can climb up a vintage, candy-striped lighthouse, or hike the seaside forests to spot birds, including great horned owls, ruby-crowned kinglets, and great blue herons.
