SUMMARY:She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory
DESCRIPTION:The Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum proudly announces its newest exhibition\, She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory–a visionary presentation that examines the 250-year history of the United States of America through a Black Feminist lens. This exhibition brings together a powerful constellation of contemporary Maryland-based and internationally recognized Black women artists whose deeply personal and politically charged works bear witness to the past\, illuminate its impact on the present\, and conjure Afrofuturist visions. \nThrough a diverse range of media—including collage\, painting\, print\, photography\, textile\, installation\, and time-based media—She Speaks acknowledges Black women as active participants in the making of this country rather than passive bystanders\, highlighting artists who operate as historians\, archivists\, and scholars to tell their stories. Presented alongside rarely seen archival materials and family heirlooms\, the exhibition highlights the pivotal role Black women have played in shaping and preserving this nation since the Revolutionary era\, while envisioning liberated futures through cosmic speculation. \nFeatured artists include Elizabeth Catlett\, Alanna Fields\, Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither\, Charlyn Griffith-Oro\, Khaleelah I. L. Harris\, Martha Jackson Jarvis\, Fabiola Jean-Louis\, Jeannine Kayembe-Oro\, Zsudayka Nzinga\, Ada Pinkston\, Beverly Price\, Faith Ringgold\, Noreen Smith\, Darlene R. Taylor\, Jessica Valoris\, Savannah G. M. Wood\, and Alisha B. Wormsley. \nAs the nation collectively commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence through coordinated national\, Maryland 250\, and Annapolis 250 initiatives\, this exhibition enters the conversation by expanding how American history is remembered and told. By retracing and reinterpreting these histories through the voices of Black women\, the exhibition challenges audiences to consider whose stories have been preserved\, and whose have yet to be fully recognized. \nShe Speaks is curated by Martina Dodd\, BDTM Curator of Collections and Exhibitions\, with curatorial support from Leslie Rose\, Exhibit Manager. Lending institutions include Academy Art Museum\, Galerie Myrtis\, Howard University Gallery of Art\, Washington\, D.C.\, James E. Lewis Museum of Art\, and Reginald F. Lewis Museum. \nShe Speaks will open to the public with an Opening Reception and Black History Month celebration on Saturday\, February 7\, 2026. The exhibition will remain on view through January 16\, 2027\, with interpretive programming offered throughout the year to further engage with the exhibition’s themes of history\, memory\, resistance\, and Black women’s enduring contributions to the nation’s cultural and civic life.

Using only a handful of actors\, minimal props\, and maximum imagination\, the show barrels through tragedies\, comedies\, and histories with physical comedy\, pop-culture riffs\, audience interaction\, and gleeful theatrical chaos. Equal parts parody and love letter to Shakespeare\, the play celebrates the Bard by making his work accessible\, ridiculous\, and irresistibly fun for actors and audiences alike.\n\nCHARACTER BREAKDOWNTraditionally performed by three actors\, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) may be expanded to a larger ensemble. An expanded cast allows for greater physical comedy\, shared monologues\, and increased opportunities for audience interaction. The company of actors portray more than 100 of Shakespeare’s characters during the course of the play.Casting may include as few as 3\, and as many as 15 performers.Host #1Host #2Host #3The Troupe (optional 3-12 actors)(Fairies\, magical creatures\, messengers\, soldiers\, supporting characters\, etc.)

SUMMARY:The Human Condition: Art From the Heart
DESCRIPTION:The Human Condition: Art from the Heart is a new multimedia art exhibition rooted in personal experience\, community\, and creative expression. The project was inspired by Liminal Spaces\, a series of collaborative poetry and art shows held at the Arts Lab. \nLora Moran-Collins\, a co-founding member and studio artist at the Arts Lab\, drew on both her artistic background and her long-time involvement with Families Anonymous to envision a space where FA members and local artists could come together. Through a series of art workshops held over the past year\, participants explored and expressed the complex emotions surrounding addiction\, grief\, resilience\, and loss. \nThe resulting collection of artwork\, poetry\, music\, and photography will be celebrated at an opening reception on Sunday\, March 22\, from 1–3 PM. The exhibition will be on view at the Arts Lab from March 22 through June 7\, 2026.

SUMMARY:CP presents spring musical: City of Angels
DESCRIPTION:Book by Larry Gelbart\, Music by Cy Coleman\, Lyrics by David Zippel \nDirected by Beth Terranova\, Music Directed by Michelle Bruno \nPerformances are Thurs-Sat at 8:00pm\, Sun at 2pm \nA smart and stylish film noir musical. In the late 1940s\, Stine\, a bookish writer of detective stories\, struggles to adapt his crime novel into a workable screenplay. As Stine tries to maintain some integrity in the backstabbing world of Hollywood\, his protagonist\, a hardboiled private eye named Stone\, fights for survival in a city full of criminals and opportunists. With wit\, humor\, and a fantastic Cy Coleman score\, City of Angels captures the snappy dialogue of a Raymond Chandler novel and the glitzy showmanship of classic Hollywood; the result is a crowd-pleasing musical unlike any other. \nPlease Note: Contains stylized violence\, sexual innuendo\, infidelity\, and period-specific sexism and racism. Contains strong language.

SUMMARY:Gallery Reception with The Artist Oliver James
DESCRIPTION:The Game We Play is a new series from The Artist Oliver James. A play on “The Debt You Owe\,” a previous series about national wealth built on native land\, this new series aims to put the focus on Black towns\, cities\, and communities that disappeared overnight. An attempt at celebrating what was created\, but also a realization of a current reality in their absence. While there isn’t a monopoly on gentrification\, it’s a game that African Americans know all too well. A game of cultural\, mental\, and physical survival on the move. \nThis exhibit is on view in our Patricia Barland Gallery from February 25 to April 7\, 2026.
