SUMMARY:"Intersections | Realism & Abstraction" at Gallery B
DESCRIPTION:“INTERSECTIONS ⎸ Realism & Abstraction” is a group exhibition featuring four artists – Lawrence Chandler\, Angela Iovino\, Ariana Progri\, and Ravi Raman – with distinct art styles in conversation with each other\, showing that even the most realistic art is a form of abstraction (a reduction of reality) and that abstract art can hold elements of structural\, grounded reality. \nInstead of treating realism and abstraction as binary opposites\, works in the exhibition also intersect both worlds\, showcasing how different artists navigate the spectrum between the two styles. Viewers not only will see realistic figures and recognizable subjects dissolving into\, or emerging from abstract backgrounds\, but also the use of bold brushstrokes\, form\, color\, and textures to convey emotion rather than literal details. \nGallery Hours are Fridays\, Saturdays and Sundays\, 12 – 5pm. There will be an opening reception on Friday\, November 6; 6 – 9pm.

SUMMARY:Round House Theatre Presents "Cult of Love"
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the holidays with the Broadway sensation Cult of Love! In this gripping\, music-filled play\, four adult siblings (and their partners) return home for Christmas Eve\, carrying secrets\, resentments\, and competing ideas of what family demands. As the singing and celebration give way to confrontation\, old wounds reopen and new revelations emerge. Leslye Headland’s “stormy\, compassionate\, [and] cuttingly observant” (TimeOut NY) play interrogates the complexity of family loyalty\, the power of religion\, and what it truly means to love one another.

SUMMARY:THE BLACKBYRDS
DESCRIPTION:The Blackbyrds performing this special concert on Thanksgiving weekend to celebrate 50 years since the release of “Rock Creek Park”\, a classic song that has endured for generations! The band is one of the most successful ever from the DC area and came together in the 1970s as Howard University students under the guidance of their music professor\, the late great jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd who became their manager and producer. They created a unique jazz funk sound combined with soulful harmonies that made a big impact on the music charts. \nThe Blackbyrds’ biggest hit songs were “Walking In Rhythm”\, their Grammy nominated million selling smash hit on both the R&B and pop charts; “Happy Music”\, an uplifting party anthem that was their biggest R&B hit; and “Rock Creek Park”\, their beloved song known for its infectious groove and famous verse “doin’ it in the park\, doin’ it after dark\, oh yeah…Rock Creek Park!” \nThe Blackbyrds tour around the world but always look forward to performing in the DC area where they are most appreciated. The band’s original core members as well as new members are all from the DC area led by drummer Keith Killgo. Their crowd pleasing performance features all of their most popular songs plus those by Donald Byrd including “Places And Spaces” and “(Fallin’ Like) Dominoes.” \nSATURDAY\, NOV 28. 2026 \nDinner & Doors 6:00pm \nShowtime 8:00pm
