Celebrating the 50th anniversary of THE BLACKBYRDS' Billboard Hot 100 & Hot Soul Singles chart topper “Rock Creek Park!”

THE BLACKBYRDS was formed in 1973 as part of the legendary jazz trumpeter Dr. Donald Byrd’s brainchild to expose college students to the real world of music. In his own words to “bridge the gap between academia and the real world.” Byrd envisioned taking active students at Howard University in Washington, DC on a real world field trip which would expose them to ins and outs of the music business. The Blackbyrds went on to create an everlasting musical style that combined Classical, Jazz, Funk, R&B, and Gospel which introduced musical terms such as "crossover", "urban contemporary" and "easy-listening" to the music dictionary.

Keystone Kards will not be accepted for this show.

THE SHARK IS BROKEN

BY IAN SHAW and JOSEPH NIXON
DIRECTED BY Gené Fouché

SEPTEMBER 12 – OCTOBER 5

Preview September 11
ASL Interpreted performance September 19

It’s 1974 and the hit movie JAWS is being filmed. Well, it would be, if the prop shark wasn’t a mechanical mess. In this laugh-out-loud comedy, testy, feuding costars Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as booze flows, egos clash, and tempers flare. The actors pray for an end to the shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.

Calling all pickleball players as well as any aspiring picklers! On Saturday, Sept. 20, Kennedy Krieger Institute will host Pickleball for All 2025 — a groundbreaking, charity pickleball tournament designed to be the area’s first fully accessible and adaptive pickleball event. It’s open to ALL SKILL levels.

Pickleball for All will feature a beginner’s clinic, division play for recreational and competitive levels, and adaptive pickleball matches with mixed teams of adaptive and nonadaptive athletes. Sign up solo or bring a partner — either way, you’ll belong on the court. Ages 16+ are welcome.

Proceeds from Pickleball for All will benefit the Institute’s adult adaptive sports and recreation program. Started in 2012, the program embodies the belief that individuals of all abilities should have the opportunity to lead active, healthy and independent lives. Each year, the program serves close to 150 adaptive athletes and recreation enthusiasts who participate in a variety of activities, such as handcycling, wheelchair lacrosse or bowling, among others.

The tournament will be a round-robin style with semi-final and final matches.

Registration starts at $35, and teams are encouraged to participate in fundraising; prizes will be awarded for the event’s top fundraisers. Registration ends on Saturday, Sept. 6.

This focus exhibition of 10 works explores the relationship between burning fossil fuels—namely, coal—and the emergence of European modernism. Drawing on research conducted by climate scientists and art historians, the exhibition presents a range of paintings and works on paper by Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, James McNeill Whistler, and others to explore the ways that their artistic practices and style emerged, in part, in response to widespread pollution in London and Paris.
Presented as part of the Turn Again to the Earth environmental initiative.

A stunning exhibition of monumental paintings and works on paper, breathtaking films, and poignant child-size sculptures by artists exploring questions of history, power, climate change, and social and environmental justice.
