Prince George’s Publick Playhouse.

This performance is part of our Tiny Tots Series and is recommended for PreK-Grade 2. Based on the true story of Lonesome George, this uplifting eco-fable tells the tale of a truly one-of-a-kind tortoise from the Galapagos Islands. Watch George, a GIANT tortoise, grow up among sea turtles, lizards, hungry goats, sea lions, and dancing birds with blue feet. As you visit his island, you hear the story of the last tortoise found on Pinta Island in the Galapagos archipelago. Fall in love with these islands — and this not-so-little tortoise — while learning an important lesson about man’s impact on the environment. Please note, everyone must have a ticket to enter, regardless of age. Groups of 20+ can call 301-277-1710 for Group Sales.

Experimental Performance Series at the Clarice, Jan 31

Experimental Performance Series at the Clarice, Jan 31

UMD School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies presents:
Experimental Performance Series

#3:
Sat, Jan. 31, 2026 | 2:00 pm
Sat, Jan. 31, 2026 | 7:30 pm

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

The Experimental Performance Series is a collection of self-produced works from undergraduate and graduate students in theatre and dance, ranging from established works to brand new plays and choreography.

This performance will feature two original works:

Muse In Motion, choreographed by Shayla Johnson, begins with a message that sets the tone. The message focuses on the questions often placed on woman—questions that may not always be direct, but are layered and imposed in subtle ways. When listening to the message, it feels like a story of love lost. The choreographer chose to keep the message as it is, but reinterpret its meaning. She now sees it as a long-lost love being narrated—something remembered and spoken about, rather than something actively lived through.

Magdalene, choreographed by Tori Uleck and dancers, is a dance and sound piece exploring the idea of where we find comfort as we grow. It exists in the conversation of holding on to external anchors versus feeling grounded in oneself.

Free, no tickets required. Click here.
