The Hollow Stump

Seven very different animals seek shelter from the winter cold and snow in a large hollow stump. The cuddly, hand-crafted rod-puppets will enchant any child as the characteristics of each animal are revealed through a unique and descriptive poem and song. When the animals let newcomers enter and the space inside the stump grows tighter, these songs interweave. Adapted from the popular tale, The Mitten, this tale celebrates community, as the animals learn to share one.

My Name is Rachel Corrie at Joe’s Movement Emporium, Mar 12

My Name is Rachel Corrie
by Alan Rickman
performed by Ashley Malloy

Saturday, March 12, 2016 at 7:30 pm

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

The one person show My Name is Rachel Corrie, composed from Rachel’s emails and journal entries by the late Alan Rickman and editor in chief of The Guardian, Katherine Viner, chronicles the life of the 23 year old American Peace Activist who traveled to Gaza in 2003 with the International Solidarity Movement to defend Palestinian homes from being demolished. It was there, on March 16th, 2003 that she was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer while defending a Palestinian’s home from being demolished.

Over the course of the play, Rachel matures from an insightful young girl listing the millions of things she wants to be when she grows up, to a scattered adolescent immersed in the manic search for self while battling boys and an over-involved mom, to a young woman determined to pursue peace and justice in a place she’s never been for people she’s never met, constantly questioning herself, her country and the world around her, and what it is to be human.

General Admission $18.00, Students & Seniors $13.00, Children (16 & Under) $9.00

Greenbelt Winter Youth Musical: The School for Superheroes presents Orlando Furioso The Musical, Mar 5-12

Greenbelt Winter Youth Musical: The School for Superheroes presents Orlando Furioso The Musical, Mar 5-12

Greenbelt Winter Youth Musical
THE SCHOOL FOR SUPER-HEROES PRESENTS ORLANDO FURIOSO THE MUSICAL
Written and Directed by Chris Cherry
at the Greenbelt Community Center

Location: Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Road, Greenbelt MD 20770. Phone: 301-397-2208.

The School For Super-Heroes Presents Orlando Furioso, The Musical is about a group of students with offbeat, not-so-superpowers who don’t feel they fit in at a high school for super-powered teenagers. Drawing on their combined abilities, they produce the most ambitious high school musical ever, based on a 16th-century fantasy epic that puts the King Arthur legends to shame. The result surprises them all and just maybe saves the world! Who could resist a musical that combines super-powers with knights, wizards, and warrior damsels?
