Filled with clever schemes and side-splitting humor, this story follows the misadventures of audience favorite, Sir John Falstaff. He devises a plan to woo two friends at the same time.

It has been said that there have been student protests in the United States for nearly as long as there have been students. From the Civil Rights Movement to the Iraq War, student activism has helped move the needle on issues for centuries. Reactions to student protest are also similar to those of the past, ranging from admiration and respect to indifference and disdain. But what are the similarities between then and now, and what have we learned and ignored from past experiences? Join BRJA as we discuss the histories, mythologies, and racializations of college protests.
Join us on June 13th for performances at Maryland Art Place! The doors open at 5:30PM and the show starts at 6PM. The daily performance of life and living is one that has become more omnipresent as the relationship that we have to each other is often layered with masks: mediated through technology, social media personas, and algorithms. Artists are able to see the smoke and mirrors and through these ways of seeing are able to present the audience with alternative realities that are not dependent on technology.
