Debuted in October 2025, the CBMM Theater celebrates the power of storytelling by sharing selections from its library of historic and documentary films throughout the year.
This new space, located in the former Waterfowling building on Navy Point, will highlight on-demand short films and longer features that share mission-related stories, including the 2022 Emmy-winning documentary “The Long Shore” that takes viewers on a journey through the history of the Chesapeake Bay through the eyes of CBMM’s Curatorial team and the shipwrights of its working Shipyard.
CBMM also plans to showcase a variety of films featured through the years during Maryland Public Television’s Chesapeake Bay Week, many of which spotlight CBMM’s campus, collections, and staff expertise. The theater will regularly showcase the works of the celebrated Bay environmental filmmaking team of Dave Harp, Tom Horton, and Sandy Cannon-Brown, as well.
The CBMM Theater can also be utilized for events and meetings.
