Mark Your March Calendars for WomenLead, a Theater Production of ‘The Prom,’ Pianist Rie Moore, and Plenty of Info Nights at CSM

Gallery Exhibit: Iterations by Laurel Lukaszewski. Through Friday, March 7. Tony Hungerford Memorial Art Gallery, Hank Willoughby Foundation Center for the Arts (FA Building), La Plata Campus at 8730 Mitchell Road in La Plata. “Iterations is both a literal interpretation of the same subject matter case in different materials and a more flexible examination of imagery that I’ve returned to again and again in my work,” Lukaszewski said of her work. “In particular, I continually return to the figure of the rabbit throughout my work. The rabbit, in all its forms, represents a childhood obsession – an unfulfilled desire to possess and love something soft and vulnerable. In my work, these creatures symbolize all the things I have desired but could not have – simultaneously embodying dreams and disappointment.” Free admission. https://www.csmd.edu/calendar/2025/01/iterations-laurel-lukaszewski.html.

On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl and the town’s citizens and the result is love that brings them all together. Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, “The Prom” expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.
