Medea is a sorceress who is a refugee in a foreign land with her two sons. Her husband Jason is wooed by King Creon to marry Creon’s daughter and thus\, to abandon Medea. This centuries-old tale and its themes of betrayal\, misogyny\, and revenge still resonate and ring strongly in our modern day.  URL:https://historicvenues.pgparks.com/event_list/medea-by-euripides-4 CATEGORIES:Arts,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://historicvenues.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/HHAC-Medea-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261114T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261114T203000 DTSTAMP:20260828T174639Z CREATED:20260803T141527Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260828T174639Z UID:10006257-1794682800-1794688200@historicvenues.pgparks.com SUMMARY:43rd Annual Choreographers’ Showcase  DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 43rd Annual Choreographers’ Showcase\, a prestigious event highlighting emerging and established talent.

Weaving humor\, pain\, and irony into every work\, Maples uses his art as both a profound form of self-expression and a vital tool for navigating physical and mental challenges. \n\n\n\nGood Luck with That explores the spectrum of the human experience\, confronting hardships with wit and imagination. The title piece captures this sentiment perfectly\, a blend of earnestness and sarcasm that acknowledges life’s difficulties while proving that creativity makes the journey more bearable. Maples’ inventive and playful works invite viewers to find hope in difficult moments\, serving as a powerful celebration of resilience and the healing power of art.  URL:https://historicvenues.pgparks.com/event_list/ceej-maples-good-luck-with-that CATEGORIES:All Ages,Arts,Exhibition,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://historicvenues.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/BAE-Ceej-Maples-2-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261116 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270110 DTSTAMP:20260803T141528Z CREATED:20260803T141528Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T141528Z UID:10006188-1794787200-1799539199@historicvenues.pgparks.com SUMMARY:Shifting Grounds: 38th Annual Prince George's County Juried Exhibition DESCRIPTION:From personal evolution to shifts in community\, environment\, and technology\, the present moment can feel uncertain or even unmoored as ideologies and identities are reconfigured.
