Sip on delicious flora-inspired cocktails, learn about some fascinating plants, and leave with one of your own! This lecture will focus on the Tillandsia genus, which is comprised of over 650 species of commonly called “air plants.” With roots that solely serve to anchor them in place on a tree or even something man-made, air plants draw all of their moisture and nutrient needs directly through the air around them. Learn how these interesting plants survive, how to care for them at home, and choose your own mounted air plant to take home with you, (lightweight, ready to hang)! $45 ticket includes 2 cocktails, and your choice from a variety of mounted air plants.

Properties! – A Political Play
Aug 1 – 4, Thur – Sat 8PM, Sun 3PM
Baltimore Theatre Project
45 W Preston St, Baltimore
Writer, provocateur and punk rocker Damon Norko presents his take on the current state of American affairs — an unvarnished but un-slanted look at the way people negotiate the political landmines of everyday life. Properties! takes place in a typical Baltimore bar called The Drunken Donkey, which struggles with being tagged a a Democrat bar during the election of 2016. The election brings a new owner and a change of name as the bar becomes The Elevated Elephant. However, bar proprietorship is not new owner Neal Armistead’s strong suit, as a series of misjudgments and miscues lead to another unexpected change. Properties! is a play set in that friendly neighborhood place where everybody knows your name . . . AND your politics. It is a about NOW, but it also suggests there could be a way back to that halcyon time of only a few years ago.

Aug 2 – 18, Fri & Sat 8PM, Sun 2PM
Spotlighters Theatre
817 Saint Paul St, Baltimore
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years—where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of “good schools”. While Andy is off at war Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and, eventually, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should, and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is really too late for both of them. However Andy’s last letter, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years—physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.

M. Pei designed Dallas City Hall. This event at BMA Lexington Market is free. No RSVP required. First-come, first-served. Please anticipate standing room only. Seating is extremely limited.
