Chesapeake Bay Floating Theatre, Inc (CBFT) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to revitalization, economic development, cultural enhancement and education through construction and operation of the James Adams II Floating Theatre, along with other community focused projects.
As a part of the American repertory theatre movement of the early 20th century, the Floating Theatre was an important cultural resource for people in metropolitan, rural areas and small coastal towns.
Once completed, the James Adams II will be launched to take traveling theatre to many of the same ports of call visited by the "Original Showboat". This cultural tourism site will interpret the reality of traveling repertory theatre from 1914 to 1941.
