If you've never visited the isolated watermen's communities on Smith and Tangier islands in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, you've really missed an eye-opening cultural experience. Imagine having to catch a boat to go to school, as kids do on Maryland's Smith, or depending for a living on what you can find and catch from the water surrounding your home.

Tonight (Sept. 29), there's a chance to pay a virtual visit to one of these island communities for a few hours without needing to get in a boat or a plane to get there. A new one-act play about the watermen of Tangier Island will be performed at 7 p.m. at the Annapolis Maritime Museum. “Fishing Gone,” written by Roger Vaughan and directed by Joel Kolker, stars Lisa Wheatley, a Tangier Island resident, who plays herself as Lisa. After the show there'll be a discussion led by Peter Lesher, curator of collections at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels.

Admission is free. The play will be at the Annapolis museum, at 723 Second St. in Eastport. For more info, go here or call 410 295-0104.
