- Artist Allyson Smith tours us through her current exhibition of works on display at The Antreasian Gallery, a series of paintings that fuse comic satire and stark honesty to portray the ups and downs of her life as a modern-day lesbian mom and schoolteacher.
- We’ll also hear a tale of personal transformation told in front of a live audience at the Stoop Storytelling series, by a storyteller who introduces himself as “Asa†– before his hormone treatments, he used to be a she.
- We’ll get a preview of the Baltimore Shakespeare Festival’s upcoming production of MacBeth, with director Tony Tsendeas and composer Brian Daniloski, who’s better known for his work in Baltimore’s notorious heavy metal band, Meatjack.
- And we’ll sit down for some music and conversation with singer / songwriter Andy Friedman. When he’s not drawing cartoons for the New Yorker Magazine, he’s writing songs that just might make you laugh to keep from crying.
