    April 1, 2026  7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
    Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA

    Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ searing satire of a family digging through their recently deceased patriarch’s crumbling estate is both gut-splittingly funny and shocking in its confrontation of conveniently forgotten family history. DC-luminaries Kimberly Gilbert (Angels in America) and Cody Nickell (Ink) star as siblings battling over the possession and meaning of their father’s dark patrimony. As the rest of the family descends on the ancestral property in rural Arkansas, old rivalries and grudges are eclipsed by the moral weight of what they find. Staged in our black box Mulitz-Gudelsky Theatre Lab, this will be a unique staging of one of the most important American plays of the past 15 years.

    Have you ever been curious about fusing glass? Come experience it first hand and make a small piece to hang in your window (or your wall) and one to give away to a child who attends Camp Erin, a weekend camp experience for grieving children that is sponsored by Caring Matters*.

    The class will provide clear instruction about cutting and chopping glass to construct your piece, show some of the varieties of fused glasses and show you. A few experienced glass cutters will be on hand to help!

    Both pieces will be available for view the following week after a kiln firing. You will pick which you want to keep and which you want to donate. If there is time, you may be able to do an additional donation. Because of the nature of the glass and limited tools, there will be an 8 person class limit. Ages 16+ are welcome to join!

    Bring your curiosity and your creativity and let’s have fun!

  • April in the Galleries First Friday with David Amoroso Reception

    April 3, 2026  5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
    Artists & Makers Studios, 11810 Parklawn Dr Suite 210, Rockville, MD 20852, USA

    Artists & Makers Studios is pleased to once again host David Amoroso, this time for the month of April. The exhibit will run from March 31st through April 22nd, with a First Friday opening on April 3rd from 5-8pm. ICON-A-RAMA! highlights Pop Culture Icons who have inspired the artist through their courage, authenticity and rebellion. The Pop Culture Icons featured in ICON-A-RAMA! have set strong aspirational standards, motivated us, and shaped our values through their personal journeys, set-backs and triumphs.  They have faced unique battles which has helped to teach us all about courage, self-sacrifice, self-control and willpower. Some of the portraits featured in this collection honor Social Justice leaders and activists, while others reflect contemporary music and entertainment – – or superstars who are no longer with us. During difficult times, these individuals have provided hope and served as symbols of transformation and renewal.  ICON-A-RAMA! fosters community, drives social change, and offers a sense of belonging and hope. Ann Corbett will hang a mini-solo exhibit in the Lounge Gallery. Enjoy the sculptural work of Francis Maduka Uduh in studio 11, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Open Studios building-wide will welcome visitors to visit and learn. Shop and support local working artists, makers, and professionals. Light fare generously sponsored each month by The Chesapeake Framing Company.

  • Silver Spring B&O Station April Open House: Streamlined Trains

    April 4, 2026  10:00 am - 2:00 pm
    Silver Spring B&O Railroad Station, 8100 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20910, USA

    Special Feature: “Streamlined Trains” from 11 am to 12 pm

    Railroads have played an enormous role in America’s development and culture, none more dramatic in public perception than the iconic 20th-century locomotive and passenger cars designs for the Country’s high end railroad passengers and luxury trains. Beginning in the 1930s, Art Deco emerged as a prominent design theme. For railroads, Art Deco was manifested in streamlining, smooth design and innovative use of interior space and function. Using commentary and slides, David Vaughn will trace and illustrate these dramatic developments, using as examples the works of and rivalry between two well-known 20th-century industrial designers: Raymond Loewy and Henry Dreyfus.

    You can also enjoy train spotting and waving at the engineers, a model layout, a toy train play set, photos and memorabilia of the railroad’s glory days and historic Silver Spring, and more!

    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.

    Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA

    Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ searing satire of a family digging through their recently deceased patriarch’s crumbling estate is both gut-splittingly funny and shocking in its confrontation of conveniently forgotten family history. DC-luminaries Kimberly Gilbert (Angels in America) and Cody Nickell (Ink) star as siblings battling over the possession and meaning of their father’s dark patrimony. As the rest of the family descends on the ancestral property in rural Arkansas, old rivalries and grudges are eclipsed by the moral weight of what they find. Staged in our black box Mulitz-Gudelsky Theatre Lab, this will be a unique staging of one of the most important American plays of the past 15 years.

On our journey, we’ll see how paper and its grain impact our books, and what tools we need.

Jennifer Howard is a painter and graphic designer who has lived and worked in Washington, DC for over 37 years.

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.

    April 18, 2026  7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
    Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA

    Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ searing satire of a family digging through their recently deceased patriarch’s crumbling estate is both gut-splittingly funny and shocking in its confrontation of conveniently forgotten family history. DC-luminaries Kimberly Gilbert (Angels in America) and Cody Nickell (Ink) star as siblings battling over the possession and meaning of their father’s dark patrimony. As the rest of the family descends on the ancestral property in rural Arkansas, old rivalries and grudges are eclipsed by the moral weight of what they find. Staged in our black box Mulitz-Gudelsky Theatre Lab, this will be a unique staging of one of the most important American plays of the past 15 years.

    April 19, 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.

    April 22, 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.

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.

  • I & You: The Musical

    April 26, 2026  1:00 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
