Songwriter Sundays

Come to MilkBoy ArtHouse for Songwriter Sundays! Curated by local songwriter Annette Wasilik, each performance showcases three incredible songwriters.

Family Art Day: Elena & Los Fulanos

Elena & Los Fulanos is a bilingual Latin folk band based in Washington, DC. Since 2011, they have been making music that ranges from twangy, heartbreak-themed folk rock, to soothing, introspective, violin-infused cumbia. Influenced by front-woman Elena Lacayo’s experience growing up in two cultures (Nicaraguan and American), Elena & Los Fulanos’ music melds language and tradition with catchy melodies and inventive chords to enhance appreciation for diversity in an increasingly multi-cultural world. Join us for family activities that celebrate the coming of spring! Food provided.

Arts Drop-In

College Park Arts Exchange is bringing their classic Arts Drop-In series to MilkBoy ArtHouse! Adults and kids alike are welcome to take part in fun arts projects facilitated by arts specialist Aaron Springer.

Bring the family, take a seat, order brunch and get started on your project. You'll leave MilkBoy ArtHouse with a full stomach – and an artistic memento from your experience.

Seating and capacity are limited. Project supplies are provided at no cost, but we encourage you to purchase brunch and support MilkBoy ArtHouse!

UTAS - Performing Arts Internship Fair

Join UTAS for our first annual Performing Arts Internship Fair in the Grand Pavilion of the Clarice! This is an excellent opportunity to network and dip your toes in the DC Theatre and Dance scenes, so bring a resume and a friend!

The following arts organizations will be present at the fair:

Henson Awards Showcase

The talented student recipients of the Jim Henson Fund for Puppetry will perform/present their funded projects. This year’s student presenters are Kristen Ahern (MFA Design candidate), Olivia Brann (MA candidate), Chris Brusberg (MFA Design candidate), and Stacey Carlson (MFA Dance candidate).

UTAS - TDPS Backwards

Is there a song you’ve been dying to perform that traditionally wouldn’t be sung by someone who looks like you? TDPS Backwards is here to shatter those gender norms and give students a space to sing ANY broadway song they want regardless of gender identity, race, age, etc. Inspired by Broadway Backwards, UTAS felt a need to have a fun night where students could sing songs from their favorite musicals regardless of how it is/was originally performed. Voluntary donations received the night of the performance will go to Broadway Cares’ initiative to finding a cure for AIDS.

Opera Resonates: Zaubernacht & Mahagonny Songspiel

The Maryland Opera Studio's production of Kurt Weill's Zaubernacht and Mahagonny Songspiel explores the perils of over-indulgence and addiction. Join us for a lively discussion as we examine our dependence on technology and the ways in which media over-saturates our daily lives. How does this affect the way we experience life, build relationships, process grief, and ultimately, avoid the reality of our emotions?
