1/28 Frank Miller and Dan Didio at 3rd Eye in Annapolis

GET READY FOR OUR BIGGEST SIGNING OF THE YEAR! THE FRANK MILLER PRESENTS SHOWCASE!

Hey Third Eye Faithful! Get ready for a LEGENDARY signing with comic creators FRANK MILLER & DAN DIDIO this SATURDAY!! They're joining us at Third Eye ANNAPOLIS to celebrate the launch of their new FRANK MILLER PRESENTS titles - Ancient Enemies, Ronin II, and Pandora! We're beyond honored to be hosting this signing for you guys, and to have such a renowned creator as Frank Miller at our store! That being said - it's gonna be a hectic day and we want to make sure you've got all info so we can all have fun! Check out all the event details here!

IMPORTANT INFO!!

A Quick Heads Up! Third Eye Faithful -- with a signing this big, we wanted to give you a special heads up about a few things, since ones like this can get a bit nutty at these!  *Frank Miller is signing FRANK MILLER PRESENTS titles only* As a heads up, at this event, Frank will only be signing the FRANK MILLER PRESENTS titles RONIN II, ANCIENT ENEMIES, and PANDORA.  We'd love to be able to have him sign many of his other projects, but for this event, he's only signing Frank Miller Presents titles. Parking! For big events like this, parking can get a bit crazy at Third Eye, so we wanted to give you a heads up on some options nearby. If the rear parking lot behind us fills up, there's plenty of free street parking all up and down the block from our store, on both sides. You can also find nearby parking at the parking garage by the Starbucks near our store, which is in walking distance. How the Signing Works!  If you already have your FMP books, you can bring them through the line to get them signed. If you haven't yet gotten them, fear not: we'll have plenty of copies at the table, just snag yours when you get to Frank in line, get it signed, and then you can purchase it at the checkout counter. :) Where the Line Starts & VIP Pass Line To line up for the signing, line up at the rear entrance to Third Eye. If you were one of our buyers of the now sold out VIP passes, we'll have a separate line for the priority admission, just let us know upon arrival that you're a VIP pass-holder, and we'll make sure you're in that line.  Line Caps at 12 PM EST! Please make sure you are in line before 12PM EST, as we will be capping the line at 12PM. If you are in line before 12PM, you'll be good to meet Frank and get your items signed!  We do anticipate a long line, and will be doing our best to move things along quickly, but please note to help make sure that everyone gets to meet Frank and have fun: Please no photos with Frank as that does hold up the line. We'd love to make it happen, but our main goal is to make sure you all get to meet him and get your item signed. :)  Signing limit is 2 FMP titles from home, 2 FMP titles from the table, maximum for general admission (4 FMP titles from home, 4 FMP titles from the table for VIP pass holders) Please have your comics unbagged & ready when you come up to the table. Thank You For Your Patience!  This is a big event, and we know it's gonna be busy, so in advance: we thank you for your patience! We promise: we'll have the full power of Team Third Eye in effect to make this fun and smooth for all, but please be patient with us as bringing an icon like Frank to Third Eye is a very special event, which will bring a pretty big crowd!

Fun Home

06/28/23 - 07/30/23

https://www.studiotheatre.org/plays/play-detail/2022-2023-fun-home

MUSIC BY JEANINE TESORI

BOOK AND LYRICS BY LISA KRON

LOCATION MEAD THEATRE

DIRECTED BY DAVID MUSE

BASED ON THE GRAPHIC NOVEL BY ALISON BECHDEL

Alison is 9, begging her father to play with her. She is 19, overcome by the aching and joyous pain of first love. She is 43, an out lesbian hunting for the truth of her brilliant, volatile, and closeted father's life and death. She is all three at once, trying to untangle the central mystery of her childhood: How did she survive their shared hometown, when her father could not? With a score that ranges from exuberant 70s pop to aching melodies and dissonant harmonies of characters longing to be known, Fun Home is the Tony Award-winning story of a daughter and father, of coming out and coming to terms with a life shaped by a family's secrets.
