1. Full Bloom: Dancing and Drinks at the Walters

Sexy Flower Arrangements 

This free event from the Walters should be a blast!  A Beautiful space for dancing and hanging out. From the organizers: Art, fashion, flowers, libations and music come together in the beautiful sculpture court and galleries of the Walters Art Museum in historic Mt. Vernon. The event is free and open to the public.  WE’ll see you there

2.Out of Order: Gallery opening at Maryland Art Place

Artistic Chaos

Join us at this year’s Out of Order event on Friday, April 4, 2014 to view and bid on works from a wide range of regional artists – from emerging and student artists to established professionals. In our first year back at Saratoga Street (What Weekly offices are here too!), MAP is thrilled to open the doors to the space where the OOO event began 17 years ago. We look forward to seeing you!  Keep an eye out for pieces by some of What Weekly’s staff!

3. Feast Your Eyes: Benefit Variety Show for Moveable Feast at Gallery 788

Carnival for a Cause

Come one, Come all, and feast your eyes on some magnificent Baltimore performers! Feed your heart by helping Moveable Feast, an organization that provides nutritious meals to Marylanders facing illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, diabetes, and leukemia at no cost since 1990.

Belly dancing! Burlesque! Magic! Tap dancing! And more!

Join us on Friday, April 4th at Gallery 788 in Hampden for a variety show, all proceeds of which will go to Moveable Feast.

4. DJ Set by Blaqstarr at the Crown

Baltimore’s Underground Legend Gets Back to His Roots

Blaqstarr is joined by Shawn Smallwood to deliver up some homegrown DJ sets at Station North’s favorite new venue.

5. Vaclav Havel’s The Memo at Single Carrot Theatre

Baltimore’s Favorite Son Returns

A comic workplace classic about the perils of standardized communication.

Company President Mr. Gross receives a memorandum but can’t read it because it’s written in Ptydepe*, the newly invented language to which all correspondence must adhere. If he can’t figure out what it says, he’ll lose his job and certainly his mind. This satirical take on bureaucracy and office malarkey is an incisive look at 20th century Communist Czechoslovakia, but it could just as easily be today’s America.
