City of College Park Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The City's annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will feature a keynote address by business strategist, writer and speaker, Jennifer B. Jones. Past and new participants will gather to honor Dr. King's legacy and remind us that We Must Live Together. Stay for a brief reception and an opportunity to meet the performers.

Town Hall

In a small town, somewhere in America, a community gathers to ask their senator questions about the politics of the day, and the proceedings are live-streamed on social media by a young intern. But the conversation turns into a heated debate with mortal stakes when a retired librarian takes the event hostage. 

Maryland Opera Studio students premiere an opera by the winner of the annual Opera Composition Contest. Launched in 2017, the contest is a joint initiative of the Maryland Opera Studio and Artist Partner Program to support the cultivation and performance of new work. 

New Dances

New Dances is a great opportunity for students to present their creative work on stage, no matter how developed it is. New Dances is a fun, supportive and fulfilling experience for everyone!

Maryland Masti 12

Maryland Masti is an annual intercollegiate Garba/Raas competition held by the students at the University of Maryland, College Park. Our goals include spreading awareness of the traditional folk dance cultures of the West Indian State of Gujarat, providing an outlet for current students to express their passion for such dance, entertaining the guests at our show, and having a great weekend -- staff, teams, and audience alike!

Maryland Gospel Choir Concert

College Park's very own gospel choir is committed to encouraging Christian growth, fellowship, leadership and community service.  The group brings gospel music favorites to the UMD campus and surrounding areas.  

2018 Black Theatre & Dance Symposium

The 2018 Black Theatre & Dance Symposium will be a fresh experience, with new topics, dynamic speakers and exciting workshops. We will champion women’s voices with two dynamic keynote speakers, thereby underscoring our call for more gender and race parity, inclusion and diversity. Speared by these female voices, in this climate of #MeToo and #TimesUp, we will explore the unique power of theatre, dance, and performance studies to highlight issues of equity and social justice in today’s cultural and political environment.

Second Season

The second-year MFA in Dance cohort explores spacial and human relationships in this inclusive and interactive work. Created in collaboration between four diverse performance artists, the piece exemplifies first-hand the power of compromise, connection, and challenge, ultimately bringing the audience and performers together for a shared experience.
