Tired of this icky rainy weather. Hopefully it clears up for all the awesome activities happening this week. It’s outside drinking season! On Friday I’m going to see the opening of Queens Girl in Africa at Everyman Theatre. Its the continuation of Queens Girl in the World, which I saw last Friday and it WAS AMAZING! Make sure you see both shows during their run. On Saturday I’m attending the Annual Spring Gala for The Wine and Food Society of Baltimore at The Center Club. Can’t wait to taste the delicious wines that have been promised. I’m preparing for a big trip next week so keeping the schedule pretty light until then. Still trying to figure out how to get this Sunday post out when I’m going to be out of the country for 12 days. Sorry but I won’t have time to work on this when I’m traipsing through Tuscany. Can you blame me?

We will enjoy a walking a loop of about 2.5 miles with a small pit stop towards the end for refreshment before heading back to open works. On this walk, we will enjoy the alleyways, parks, and farms of the often underrated, but constantly surprising revitalized neighborhood of Station North Arts & Entertainment District. Locals and travelers alike will enjoy this very instagrammable look at a gem of a neighborhood. Depending on the size of the group and speed of walking the time for finishing might be slightly later.

May Taste & Tour
6PM – 7PM
The Engineers Club
11 West Mount Vernon Place, Baltimore
During the late-1800s Gilded Age, you needed to secure an invitation from Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs—a sign that you had been deemed worthy to rub elbows with society’s upper echelon—in order to visit the mansion. Today, however, you don’t need to belong to the upper crust, or even an invitation, to see the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion. You just need a ticket. For Mary Frick—often referred to as “Baltimore’s Mrs. Astor”—her lifelong passion project was the Mount Vernon Place mansion that now bears her name. To create the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion, she ultimately combined three large rowhomes into one 40-room showcase that featured the work of two prominent architects: Stanford White and John Russell Pope. Sign up for our new Taste & Tour series, during which you can enjoy a docent-led tour of the mansion, learn its history, and enjoy a signature cocktail or sparkling water.

The spontaneous unfolding of music is a vital expression of our most essential human energies, and therefore, a vital expression of the universe. It brings me joy to play the saxophone with ensembles of receptive musicians and to watch that essential energy enliven a space, while it dances in the hearts of the audience. Wow!

The 8×10

J.S. Ondara offers a unique take on the American dream on Tales of America, his debut album. Ondara grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, listening to American alt- rock and making up his own songs for as long as he can remember. After discovering the music of Bob Dylan, he moved to Minneapolis in 2013 to pursue a career in music. There he began making his way in the local music scene, continually writing songs about what he saw, felt and experienced in a place far different from home. From a stockpile he says is hundreds of songs deep, Ondara chose 11 for Tales of America. They’re captivating tunes built around acoustic guitars and adorned with subtle full-band accompaniment for an openhearted folk-rock feel. His persistence is evident throughout Tales of America , which is indeed a classic American tale. It’s the story, told in song, of an immigrant seeking a new life, who dedicates himself to achieving his vision through hard work and determination.

Baltimore Improv Group at the BIG Theater
1727 North Charles Street, Baltimore
How do you know when you’ve truly succeeded? The answer is when the Baltimore Improv Group invites you to have your life memorialized in a series of made up, totally unprepared comedy scenes celebrating you! Come join a hand picked cast of BIG’s best improvisers as they comedically revere some of Baltimore’s most important movers and shakers. Tatiana Nya Ford is a really cool cat. She’s got a promising career as a writer, comedian, and puppet empress, and she wants to live in a world filled with puppets, poetry, paintings, and pasta; dancing shoes that come bundled with dark chocolate; and a force field around her piano and violin that repels curious puppies. A girl genius with real kid emotions, Tatiana sometimes fantasizes about life outside of this life. But when her world is suddenly shattered by an invasion of fairly tale characters, she quickly discovers that things aren’t so great without love, faith, and unwavering belief in ohana. Now, she must battle seven evil exes to free herself and her parents and she’s about to find out that that isn’t so easy.

Queens Girl in the World
May 7 – June 23, Various Times
Everyman Theatre
315 W Fayette St, Baltimore
Performed for the first time as a two-play repertory with Caleen’s Queens Girl in Africa, Queens Girl in the World chronicles the misadventures of bright-eyed, brown-skinned Jacqueline Marie Butler, whose sudden transfer from a protective, middle class late-1950s upbringing in Queens to a progressive, predominantly-Jewish private school in Greenwich Village, adds comical confusion to her already quizzical, fish-out-of-water adolescence. Lively and poignant—and punctuated with the irresistible sound of Motown—Queens Girl in the World tags along for a young woman’s journey of self-discovery, at the onset of Civil Rights-era social change.

What was true in 1670 is eerily true in 2018. A play about power, sex and witches by acclaimed British playwright Caryl Churchill. An intense journey back and forth through time, propelling us from the 17th to the 21st century to see just how much things have changed even as they remain the same.

7:30PM – 8:30PM
Baltimore Improv Group at the BIG Theater
1727 North Charles Street, Baltimore
It’s everything you’ve come to expect from one of TV’s longest running franchises: A cynical detective quipping over a corpse, people who don’t let police interviews stop their repetitive activities, witnesses with staggeringly detailed memories; and it is all improvised. We take you from the discovery of the body through the investigation, trial, and all the way to wrapping things up with a few jaded comments from the D.A. over a shared Scotch. Baltimore Improv Group offers free comedy shows every night of the week. But please reserve so we know you’re coming.
Enjoy!
