SUMMARY:CP presents Other Desert Cities
DESCRIPTION:Written by Jon Robin Baitz\nDirected by Laura Gayvert\nPerformance Dates: January 9 – 31\, 2026 \nIn the glare of a Palm Springs Christmas\, a family gathers—and fractures—as long-held secrets surface. A gripping drama of love\, truth\, and political legacy. \nBrooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs to visit her parents after a six-year absence. A once-promising novelist\, she announces to her family the imminent publication of a memoir that dredges up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history – a wound her parents don’t want reopened. In effect\, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. \nPlease Note: Includes intense family conflict\, discussions of suicide\, mental illness\, and political tension. Contains strong language. \nhttp://tickets.thecolonialplayers.org/eventperformances.asp?evt=350 \nThurs-Sat at 8PM\nSun at 2PM

SUMMARY:2025 AACC Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:2025 AACC Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition \nDates: October 28\, 2025 – January 15\, 2026 \nOpening Reception:  Wednesday\, November 5\, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. \nPanel Discussion: Wednesday\, November 5\, 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. \nJoin us for Anne Arundel Community College’s 2025 Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition in the Cade Gallery October 28 – January 15.

Created during the Covid pandemic\, Sunhee Kim Jung’s “Island” series fills each canvas with single-colored leaves\, ensuring no color was repeated\, to channel both frustration and resilience. Jin Lee’s large-scale sculpture “Hostage\,” was the artist’s response to recent legislation restricting women’s reproductive rights. \nPlease join us for a panel discussion at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday\, November 5\, followed by an opening reception from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. \nVisit the Cade Gallery: Monday-Thursday\, 8:30 a.m.– 4:30 p.m. \nThe Cade Center for Fine Arts Gallery is on Anne Arundel Community College’s Arnold campus at 101 College Parkway.  Located on the main floor of the Cade building on West Campus\, the Cade Art Gallery features five exhibitions a year.

Creada durante la pandemia de Covid\, la serie «Island» de Sunhee Kim Jung llena cada lienzo con hojas de un solo color\, asegurándose de que no se repita ningún color\, para canalizar tanto la frustración como la resiliencia. La escultura a gran escala de Jin Lee\, «Hostage»\, fue la respuesta de la artista a la reciente legislación que restringe los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres. \nPor favor únase a nosotros para una mesa redonda a las 4:00 p.m. el miércoles 5 de noviembre\, seguida por una recepción inaugural entre 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. \nVisite la Cade Gallery: Lunes a jueves\, 8:30 a.m.– 4:30 p.m. \nLa galería del Cade Center for Fine Arts Gallery está en el ala oeste del campus Arnold de AACC\, 101 College Parkway.
