Putting It Together – A Sondheim Revue
Drawing its title from a song in Sunday in the Park with George, this musical revue celebrates Sondheim’s incomparable career in musical theater. Featuring nearly thirty Sondheim tunes, Putting It Together is set at an all-night, black-tie party in a penthouse, the hosts, an older couple face their disillusions and marital troubles; a younger, less jaundiced couple struggle with their feelings and desires, and a commentator oversees and influences the action. The spouses deal with infidelity and divorce but finally reconcile before dawn. With a bit of imagination, the guests transform the apartment into the stage of an abandoned theater, an estate in Sweden, an island outside of Paris, a street off the Forum, the woods of a fairy tale and a mythical town in the Southwest.
Note: All single tickets are subject to a $2 service fee per ticket.

2023-04-27 18:00 - 21:00 | Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, 801 Chase Street, Annapolis, 21401
Los instrumentos musicales nos han ayudado a comunicar y expresarnos desde los comienzos de la cultura humana. Conocer los instrumentos ancestrales de las Américas, y aprender a construir y tocar nuestros propios instrumentos nos ayuda a despertar la memoria de nuestra conexión con la naturaleza, cultivar la presencia con las manos en el barro, y experimentar alegría a través del sonido y la música.
En este taller conoceremos instrumentos musicales que se han hecho a lo largo de Centroamérica y América del Sur desde hace miles de años y aprenderemos a construir nuestras propias flautas de arcilla. El taller culminará en un encuentro musical el 8 de diciembre de 6-8pm, donde reflexionaremos sobre nuestros aprendizajes, exploraremos la paleta sonora de nuestros instrumentos, y aprenderemos a expresarnos con nuestras flautas.
Todos son bienvenidos y no se requiere experiencia con arcilla ni con instrumentos o música. Este programa es posible gracias a una beca del Maryland State Arts Council. Para más información escribir a melissahfoss@gmail.com

Who remembers the 60s? Did you grow up then? Do you wish that you grew up then? Let us bring back your memories (or what you think you remember!) with “fab” music that will include the Fab Four (the Beatles, for those of us too young to know), Sonny and Cher, and a lot of Motown favorites. You can’t tell us that you never sang along to ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ or ‘My Girl’! You will leave feeling rejuvenated and just plain happy as you ‘Let the Sun Shine In’. A great time for all ages!
