SUMMARY:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime: Mommy Time
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime is a fun hour full of reading and activities in the William Paca Garden\, a secret treasure in the Historic District of Annapolis. Each program is designed for little ones\, 3-7 years\, with a book reading\, song\, and craft/art project\, plus time to explore the Paca Garden following the story hour. \nMommy Time by Monique James-Duncan\nRollicking rhyme and playful illustrations record a day in the life of two rambunctious children and their stay-at-home mother. As fun as it is being a kid\, it can be hard work being a mom. When Dad heads to his job\, the joyful chaos of getting ready for the day begins. To the children\, that day is a happy blur of school and playdates\, singing and dancing\, supermarket walks and library stops\, bath time\, story time\, bedtime. But Mommy’s time is filled with a whole lot more sweeping\, laundry\, stinky diapers—tiring work achieved with love in her eyes and care in her smiles. An authentic catalog of precious moments in the life of an ordinary family\, this warm\, revealing story builds a bridge of empathy between parent and child and celebrates the value of “Mommy time.” \nCelebrate Mother’s Day in the garden! Join us for a song and a unique craft! \nAdvance registration required\, space is limited.

SUMMARY:Student Auditions Open for A Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is Shakespeare at his most playfully chaotic. Four young lovers wander into the woods\, where a group of fairies—who really should not be in charge of anything—decide to intervene in their relationships. Thanks to one well-meaning but unreliable sprite\, everyone ends up briefly in love with the wrong person. Meanwhile\, a troupe of very sincere (and very untalented) actors attempts to stage a play. \nBy morning\, things are mostly sorted out\, dignity is lightly bruised\, and the whole experience feels a bit like a dream no one can quite explain. \nThis interactive\, fun\, outdoor production will be staged at Historic London Town & Gardens in Edgewater\, MD\, produced in partnership with Compass Rose Theater. Students ages 10-18 are encouraged to apply!

SUMMARY:Nao Yoshioka
DESCRIPTION:A contemporary soul singer with a powerful voice and expressive skills refined in New York\, this artist blends a modern taste distinct from a laid-back style yet deeply rooted in history. Born in Japan and having moved to New York alone\, Nao’s encounter with soul music led to a pivotal moment where her heart synchronized with the Sam Cooke classic\, inspiring her to create music that resonates deeply with people’s emotions. Despite being Japanese\, she has a soulful voice reminiscent of Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston\, combined with a strength of character forged through life experiences as an outsider and overcoming adversities.

SUMMARY:Student Auditions Open for A Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is Shakespeare at his most playfully chaotic. Four young lovers wander into the woods\, where a group of fairies—who really should not be in charge of anything—decide to intervene in their relationships. Thanks to one well-meaning but unreliable sprite\, everyone ends up briefly in love with the wrong person. Meanwhile\, a troupe of very sincere (and very untalented) actors attempts to stage a play. \nBy morning\, things are mostly sorted out\, dignity is lightly bruised\, and the whole experience feels a bit like a dream no one can quite explain. \nThis interactive\, fun\, outdoor production will be staged at Historic London Town & Gardens in Edgewater\, MD\, produced in partnership with Compass Rose Theater. Students ages 10-18 are encouraged to apply!

SUMMARY:The Samples w/ Kieran Lally
DESCRIPTION:38 years after starting his full-fledged music career with The Samples\, Sean Kelly continues to delight fans with music that transcends genres\, age\, and shatters the rules of the established music industry. Throughout his career\, Sean has been the driving influence of 20 albums and over 1 million records sold. \nSean started playing guitar at age 16 listening to Neil Young\, Rolling Stones and Jackson Browne. Those influences mixed with his own poignant and timeless lyrics\, a unique and striking voice and a mind for melodies led to songs like Little Silver Ring\, Feel Us Shaking and Wild River. For many fans\, these aren’t new songs or old songs\, but anthems to their lives that represent the first time they met their wife or the joys of their times at college. \nSean’s journeys across America have taken place in rental cars\, tour buses and pickup trucks that would have literally taken him to the moon and back over the last quarter of a century. There is a lot of music in store from Sean Kelly and The Samples.

SUMMARY:When the Call Came: Civilians and the Maryland Flying Camp

SUMMARY:Mermaid Storytime & Wish Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:A calm\, magical storytime with a real mermaid—designed for little ones who still believe. Promotional images by: Sarah James Photography. \n\n\n\n\n✨ A Magical\, Intimate Mermaid Experience ✨ \nMeet a real mermaid in a calm\, storybook setting designed just for young children. \nJoin Mermaid Carissa for a one-of-a-kind storytime created especially for preschool and early elementary ages. This is not a crowded party or high-energy event. It is a gentle\, immersive experience where each child is seen\, included\, and part of the magic. \nOnly 5 children are admitted to keep the experience personal and meaningful. \nWhat happens during the experience: \nChildren are welcomed with a short\, gentle playtime from 2:40–3:00 PM\, where they can explore a cozy nursery space and settle in comfortably. \nAt 3:00 PM\, Mermaid Carissa begins a peaceful\, engaging storytime designed to hold attention without overwhelming young guests. \nAfter the story\, each child is invited forward one-by-one for a special wish-making moment. During this time\, each child receives a shell necklace\, makes a magical wish\, and shares a quiet\, personal interaction with the mermaid. \nA dedicated assistant captures each child’s moment during the ceremony\, so families receive keepsake photos at no additional cost. \nEach child also leaves with a small take-home treasure\, including a wrapped surprise gift and a handmade crocheted mermaid tail. \nThis experience is intentionally designed to feel calm\, personal\, and memorable—perfect for children who thrive in smaller\, more meaningful settings.
