May 2026 in the Galleries with Roz Racanello Opening Reception
May 2026 in the Galleries with Roz Racanello Opening Reception
May 1, 2026 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
11810 Parklawn Dr, Rockville, MD 20852, USA
Artists & Makers Studios is pleased to host Roz Racanello for the month of May. The exhibit will run from April 29th through May 27th, with a First Friday opening on May 1st from 5-8pm. “Faces/Places” features the work of Roz Racanello. Using paints, pastels, metallic glazes, wax, crayon, and often more unconventional materials, over photo enlargements, often with overly large scale, there is a sense of flipping some part of the perspective in each piece, resulting in a kind of enhanced reality. The photographs are those that she has taken and then used to bring an inner vision forward. The viewer will see what she sees. There is no use of digital art effects or scanning, no reproductions of finished pieces, no multiple editions. Each completed piece is unique and hand-made, a one of a kind finished multimedia artwork. Donté Watson shares a mini-solo exhibit in the Lounge Gallery and Resident Artists exhibit in the Gallery Hall. Enjoy the sculptural work of Francis Maduka Uduh in studio 11, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Pick up a handmade piece of art and support local working artists, makers, and professionals. Light fare generously sponsored each month by The Chesapeake Framing Company.

I & You: The Musical
I & You: The Musical
May 1, 2026 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA
In 2015, Olney Theatre produced the Rolling World Premiere of I And You by Lauren Gunderson, which went on to become one of the most-produced plays in America. Now, we’re bringing you the World Premiere of the musical adaptation of her hit play. Anthony turns up in Caroline’s bedroom one night bearing waffle fries, a beat-up book, and a homework assignment they’re supposed to do together: explore Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself.” Chronically sick, Caroline hasn’t been to school in a while… and can’t even remember meeting some kid named Anthony, which dials up both her suspicions and her “snark-o-meter.” But as the two get to know each other, they finally learn of the deeper mystery that brought them together. Whitman’s powerful poetry inspires the music and lyrics by American Idol veteran Ari Afsar, which expands the magic of Gunderson’s remarkable story.
Co-produced with McCarter Theatre Center
Based on the play by Lauren Gunderson Book by Lauren Gunderson Music and Lyrics by Ari Afsar Directed by Sarah Rasmussen
Happens on the following Dates: Apr 22, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm Apr 23, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm Apr 24, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm Apr 26, 2026, 1:00pm to 3:00pm Apr 29, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm Apr 29, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm Apr 30, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 1, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm May 2, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 2, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 3, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 7, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm May 8, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm May 9, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 9, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 10, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 10, 2026, 7:00pm to 9:30pm May 13, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 13, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 14, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 15, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 16, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 16, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 17, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 20, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 21, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 22, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 22, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 23, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 23, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 24, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm

Poetry Out Loud
Poetry Out Loud
May 2, 2026 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA
As part of the run of I & You: The Musical, Olney Theatre welcomes regional Poetry Out Loud participants to share live poetry performances that deepen the themes of the play. Featuring recitations by current and former Poetry Out Loud students, this special event celebrates the power of spoken word, young voices, and the enduring relevance of poetry in shaping identity, democracy, and self-expression.
With a special spotlight on poems by Walt Whitman, whose work—rooted in democracy, individuality, and the radical idea of a shared American voice—echoes the questions at the heart of I & You: who we are, how we belong, and what it means to speak for ourselves and one another. These performances invite audiences to experience poetry as a living, communal art form—spoken aloud, shared in the moment, and connected across generations.
About Poetry Out Loud
Poetry Out Loud is a national arts education program that encourages high school students to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance. A partnership of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Poetry Foundation, and state arts agencies, Poetry Out Loud helps students build confidence, public speaking skills, and a lifelong appreciation for literature.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of students across the country participate by performing poems from a curated anthology, culminating in school, state, and national recitation competitions that celebrate the art of spoken poetry.

I & You: The Musical
I & You: The Musical
May 3, 2026 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA
In 2015, Olney Theatre produced the Rolling World Premiere of I And You by Lauren Gunderson, which went on to become one of the most-produced plays in America. Now, we’re bringing you the World Premiere of the musical adaptation of her hit play. Anthony turns up in Caroline’s bedroom one night bearing waffle fries, a beat-up book, and a homework assignment they’re supposed to do together: explore Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself.” Chronically sick, Caroline hasn’t been to school in a while… and can’t even remember meeting some kid named Anthony, which dials up both her suspicions and her “snark-o-meter.” But as the two get to know each other, they finally learn of the deeper mystery that brought them together. Whitman’s powerful poetry inspires the music and lyrics by American Idol veteran Ari Afsar, which expands the magic of Gunderson’s remarkable story.
Co-produced with McCarter Theatre Center
Based on the play by Lauren Gunderson Book by Lauren Gunderson Music and Lyrics by Ari Afsar Directed by Sarah Rasmussen
Happens on the following Dates: Apr 22, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm Apr 23, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm Apr 24, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm Apr 26, 2026, 1:00pm to 3:00pm Apr 29, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm Apr 29, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm Apr 30, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 1, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm May 2, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 2, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 3, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 7, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm May 8, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm May 9, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 9, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 10, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 10, 2026, 7:00pm to 9:30pm May 13, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 13, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 14, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 15, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 16, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 16, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 17, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 20, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 21, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 22, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 22, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 23, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm May 23, 2026, 7:30pm to 10:00pm May 24, 2026, 1:30pm to 3:00pm

In 2015, Olney Theatre produced the Rolling World Premiere of I And You by Lauren Gunderson, which went on to become one of the most-produced plays in America. Now, we’re bringing you the World Premiere of the musical adaptation of her hit play. Anthony turns up in Caroline’s bedroom one night bearing waffle fries, a beat-up book, and a homework assignment they’re supposed to do together: explore Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself.” Chronically sick, Caroline hasn’t been to school in a while… and can’t even remember meeting some kid named Anthony, which dials up both her suspicions and her “snark-o-meter.” But as the two get to know each other, they finally learn of the deeper mystery that brought them together. Whitman’s powerful poetry inspires the music and lyrics by American Idol veteran Ari Afsar, which expands the magic of Gunderson’s remarkable story.
Co-produced with McCarter Theatre Center
Based on the play by Lauren Gunderson Book by Lauren Gunderson Music and Lyrics by Ari Afsar Directed by Sarah Rasmussen

Washington Metro Oasis, 7125 Democracy Blvd, Bethesda, MD 20817, USA
Smartphones and social media are meant to improve our lives and help connect people. Because of their proliferation and constant presence, phones sometimes hamper our ability to be fully present with those that we love. Given that phones provide a constant influx of information, they can be overwhelming and, at times, depressing and anxiety-producing. We’ll talk about ways to use phones so they serve our individual purposes while also being mindful of their pitfalls. This program is generously supported by the Frederick H. Bowis Community Fund.

I & You: The Musical
I & You: The Musical
May 13, 2026 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA
In 2015, Olney Theatre produced the Rolling World Premiere of I And You by Lauren Gunderson, which went on to become one of the most-produced plays in America. Now, we’re bringing you the World Premiere of the musical adaptation of her hit play. Anthony turns up in Caroline’s bedroom one night bearing waffle fries, a beat-up book, and a homework assignment they’re supposed to do together: explore Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself.” Chronically sick, Caroline hasn’t been to school in a while… and can’t even remember meeting some kid named Anthony, which dials up both her suspicions and her “snark-o-meter.” But as the two get to know each other, they finally learn of the deeper mystery that brought them together. Whitman’s powerful poetry inspires the music and lyrics by American Idol veteran Ari Afsar, which expands the magic of Gunderson’s remarkable story.

I & You: The Musical
I & You: The Musical
May 16, 2026 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA
In 2015, Olney Theatre produced the Rolling World Premiere of I And You by Lauren Gunderson, which went on to become one of the most-produced plays in America. Now, we’re bringing you the World Premiere of the musical adaptation of her hit play. Anthony turns up in Caroline’s bedroom one night bearing waffle fries, a beat-up book, and a homework assignment they’re supposed to do together: explore Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself.” Chronically sick, Caroline hasn’t been to school in a while… and can’t even remember meeting some kid named Anthony, which dials up both her suspicions and her “snark-o-meter.” But as the two get to know each other, they finally learn of the deeper mystery that brought them together. Whitman’s powerful poetry inspires the music and lyrics by American Idol veteran Ari Afsar, which expands the magic of Gunderson’s remarkable story.

JGSGW Database 101: Because Google Can’t Do This
JGSGW Database 101: Because Google Can’t Do This
May 17, 2026 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Speaker Harry Moatz created a Jewish genealogy database available to only members of the JGSGW, which he will be guiding us through. The database contains resources for over 150 countries and regions, as well as more that 50 topics including towns/shtetl, metric, tax, voter and revision lists, censuses, police files, conscription, military records, cemeteries, etc.
This one-hour program, conducted over Zoom at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, is free for members. This is one of the many activities that is a benefit of JGSGW membership.
Harry Moatz: Retired attorney, from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office several years ago where he was the Director of Enrollment and Discipline, after serving as an Associate Solicitor and Primary Patent Examiner. His former career served him well for genealogical research. Always having had an interest in the origins of his family in what is now Ukraine, Belarus, England, Sweden, Scandinavia and Hungary, he began his search over a decade ago for the facts behind family lore. His family tree now includes more than 7000 sourced individuals and multiple family lines. He learned the towns from which his grandparents emigrated, discovered that his paternal grandparents had siblings, found their descendants, found his paternal great grandfather may have had at least three wives, and developed the family lines of the machatunim. He has made numerous genealogy presentations and is a member of or subscribes to several genealogy organizations and Facebook groups. He is the President of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Washington.

I & You: The Musical
I & You: The Musical
May 22, 2026 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA
In 2015, Olney Theatre produced the Rolling World Premiere of I And You by Lauren Gunderson, which went on to become one of the most-produced plays in America. Now, we’re bringing you the World Premiere of the musical adaptation of her hit play. Anthony turns up in Caroline’s bedroom one night bearing waffle fries, a beat-up book, and a homework assignment they’re supposed to do together: explore Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself.” Chronically sick, Caroline hasn’t been to school in a while… and can’t even remember meeting some kid named Anthony, which dials up both her suspicions and her “snark-o-meter.” But as the two get to know each other, they finally learn of the deeper mystery that brought them together. Whitman’s powerful poetry inspires the music and lyrics by American Idol veteran Ari Afsar, which expands the magic of Gunderson’s remarkable story.

May 24, 2026 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Gallery B, 7700 Wisconsin Ave E, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
| Painters Kathleen Byrnes and Jennifer Howard exhibit their works at Gallery B in November 2025
Kathleen Byrnes has taken to working plein aire, challenging her to work quickly and spontaneously. Byrnes uses the environment to infuse the canvas with mood and emotion. Working in predominantly oil, Byrnes has produced works that explore the light and structure of urban Washington DC, the Virginia and Maryland country side, as well as the inlets, bay, ocean and marshlands of Southern New Jersey. Jennifer Howard is a painter and graphic designer who has lived and worked in Washington, DC for over 37 years. Her paintings are about the moment, the immediacy of paint applied honestly, thickly and emotionally on canvas. She strives to convey a textural quality to the surface with layers of color and an emphasis on capturing light.
The exhibition runs from November 6 – November 30. Gallery hours are Thursdays-Saturdays, 12-5pm, and Sundays 11am-2pm. The gallery will be closed November 27-28 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

May 31, 2026 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Gallery B, 7700 Wisconsin Ave E, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
| Painters Kathleen Byrnes and Jennifer Howard exhibit their works at Gallery B in November 2025
Kathleen Byrnes has taken to working plein aire, challenging her to work quickly and spontaneously. Byrnes uses the environment to infuse the canvas with mood and emotion. Working in predominantly oil, Byrnes has produced works that explore the light and structure of urban Washington DC, the Virginia and Maryland country side, as well as the inlets, bay, ocean and marshlands of Southern New Jersey. Jennifer Howard is a painter and graphic designer who has lived and worked in Washington, DC for over 37 years. Her paintings are about the moment, the immediacy of paint applied honestly, thickly and emotionally on canvas. She strives to convey a textural quality to the surface with layers of color and an emphasis on capturing light.
The exhibition runs from November 6 – November 30. Gallery hours are Thursdays-Saturdays, 12-5pm, and Sundays 11am-2pm. The gallery will be closed November 27-28 for the Thanksgiving holiday.
