Based upon the life of Joseph A. Hollander
Like so many great mysteries, it all began in an attic with a dusty old suitcase... The discovery of a stash of letters stamped with Swastikas opens clues to an untold family history spanning multiple generations in The Book of Joseph—the gripping true story of resilience and truth-tracking determination spanning Baltimore and beyond. Richard Hollander’s book, Every Day Lasts a Year: A Jewish Family’s Correspondence from Poland, is brought to the stage in this mesmerizing new adaptation that restores a family’s uncharted legacy—celebrated by revelation and remembrance.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
A B-horror homage with dastardly heroes, maniacal villains, and insane antics!
Nearly twenty years ago, General Maximilian Morder devised a plan to bring order to the world with the aid of a mysterious goo. Things didn’t pan out. Now, the elixir is in the hands of Reggie and Silas Cryptz – two moronic morticians who have drawn the vile ire of a family they’ve cheated in the past. The antics of our heroes will lead to monstrous results, and a dire intersection with fate.
Bodacious and audacious, fun and flamboyant, new and (nearly) nude, the graduates of BAWDY POSITIVE Burlesque invite you to “Love, Your Bawdy!” This showcase features a cavalcade of classic and cutting-edge cuties, cut-ups, and cads, ready to share with YOU their shimmy, shine, sass, and sparkle!
Bawdy Shop Burlesque and Creative Alliance are proud to present this show that takes up space and takes up the stage. BAWDY POSITIVITY is all about taking risks, loving oneself, and embracing the authentic. Come be entertained and inspired! Join us and Love YOUR Bawdy!

Activism & Art: the Catonsville Nine Fifty Years Later is an exhibit that will examine one of the most iconic and written-about acts of political protest in 20th century American history. On May 17, 1968, nine Catholics entered the Selective Service office in Catonsville, Maryland, destroyed draft files in protest of the Vietnam War, and waited peacefully to be arrested.
AJOYO is the vision of multi-reed player Yacine Boularès, a mystic brew blending African tradition, jazz, and soul. More than music, it's a joyful ceremony, a fuller experience bringing musicians and audience close together.
AJOYO chants in the name of Tony Allen, Oum Khalsoum, Charlie Parker, and Donnie Hathaway, interwoven like the fabric of a ceremonial dress, AJOYO speaks the language of the talking drum with a New York accent.
