I used to come here a lot more as a college student, but I made my triumphant return to see the infamous Gamer Symphony Orchestra perform... it's been over a decade! I love live orchestras and I love video game music, so it's the perfect combination. I was able to get my tickets ahead online, and just had to show my QR code to the staff upon arrival. Everything was organized and you could either grab a physical program or scan the QR code for a digital one. As many shows as I've been to... they've all been in Dekelboum Concert Hall. It's a beautiful room with plenty of middle seating, side seating and balcony seating. The stage has two levels -- one for the instruments and an upper level for the choir. What a lovely sight! CSPAC has other rooms, and even a library... there's a lot to see outside of just shows! There are plenty of options for parking, but they are all different! The closest are some spots that require parallel parking -- some are metered, and some are a part of Lot 1b that are free after a certain time (and always on weekends). There's a garage that is enforced until midnight daily. And then there's the broader Lot 1b with plenty of parking spaces... but you do have to walk a bit. Might not be so fun if there's inclement weather. CSPAC (yes, I'm still gonna call it that) is a great venue for shows, and you should definitely swing by!

Mark Phillips and Ryan Phillips were both terrific. The one we voted for did indeed win, but they were both great! The Saturday we were there, there were two performances. We chose the 5pm one. It's a fast-paced show that kept us laughing, intrigued and highly entertained. A very fun, wonderful way to spend entertainment dollars in DC. Not a bad seat in the house! This is downstairs in the historic Mayflower Hotel, nice and close to the Farragut North Metro Stop. Definitely appropriate for all ages. Highly recommend!

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.

I will attend another event-- and I probably will look into having a private event with friends and family.

The Pyramid Atlantic Art Center is a nonprofit center specializing in papermaking, printmaking, and book arts. It was founded in 1981, but more recently it moved into the historic Arcade building in the Hyattsville Gateway Arts District. They offer artist residencies, studios for artists, workshops, instruction, artist talks, and other events, including classes for the public. They sell pieces - large and small - and they have a small shop where they sell prints, cards, and other items. If I lived nearby and had the slightest artistic talent, I'd want to spend time at Pyramid. What a great resource for people who make art and love art in the Hyattsville area! I'm sure I'll be back, but if you live in the area, learn more about it and check it out!

GAC's theater is a "black box" space, with flexible seating that may be rearranged for each production. Our most common arrangement is three-quarter Thrust, with audience surrounding the stage on three sides. Other arrangement styles include Proscenium (with all seats facing one direction toward the stage), Arena (with seats on all four sides and the stage in the center), a Rotating stage, and Cafe-style seating with patrons at tables. Depending on the seating style chosen for the show, GAC's theater can hold up to 100 audience members. All seating is General Admission. There are no assigned seats. Advance purchases or reservations are recommended to guarantee a seat. Come early to enjoy rotating displays by local artists and photographers in our lobby gallery.

Driskell Center is located in the center of University of Maryland's campus within/beside Coalfield House Athletic Center and has been quietly breathing since 2011. The Driskell Center is a museum and a historical archival center that strives to obtain and preserve collections from and about African American art and artists. Dr. David C. Driskell is a world renowned artist, educator, and philanthropist who has taken it upon himself to create a repository for African American culture and art, donating his own collection of work to the center in 2011. What brought me here was the Kara Walker exhibit: Tales of Slavery and Power and if you're not familiar with Kara Walker, let's just say her work is not for the faint at heart! http://www.yelp.com/biz/a-subtlety-by-kara-walker-brooklyn?hrid=JmYsWbCtcOQAT5bqR_i7-w I went to view Tales of Slavery and Power and it was amazingly truthful, haunting, and powerful, the Driskell Center did a great job of editing down her work for its audience; lots of notable pieces that really gives a person a "good feel" for her broader body of work. My favorite was the Emancipation Approximation set, where Walker borrows from the Asian influence of silk screens to play out psychologically deep and intimate experiences of African American women within Civil War time. If you're interested, Tales of Slavery and Power is on display at the Driskell Center until May 29, 2015. Like most galleries you can take pictures, so long as you remove the flash from your camera. The Driskell Center is an ocean of knowledge and information for researchers and art history buffs, Dr. Driskell's communications with art greats such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Romare Bearden, and Elizabeth Catlett are available to the public. Note the archival program is by appointment only Tuesday thru Friday. Lots of open space for people like me who love to pace, circle exhibits, and walk up from different angles. I so enjoyed being in this large space with less than 5 people. So many interesting and stimulating things going on here like "Black Lives/White Light" an exhibition featuring 8 White artists responding to the Black Lives Matter Movement. The all-media show surveys how White artists have reacted to the fight to preserve and protect Black Lives. "Black Lives/White Light" will be on display from April 3-30, 2015 The Gallery Hours for "Black Lives/White Light" are: Thurs/Fri 4-8pm + Sat/Sun 12-5pm. For those who like to attend lectures and hear about the inspiration behind the art. Check out the current 2015 roster: PANEL DISCUSSIONS Sunday 4/12 4pm-Artist Talk Wednesday 4/15 Teaching the Movement Now; Black Lives Matter In the Classroom-Teaching for Change Tuesday 4/21 White Voices on Black Movement: From Abolition to Now Tuesday 4/28 Black Artist response to BLWL/ Closing Reception Artist Deborah Willis, Ph.D. will have a reception at the Driskell Center Thursday, April 26 @ 5pm , she is a Professor of Photography & Imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Her Series "Critical Narratives in Visualizing the Black Body in Art and Popular Culture". The great thing is that the Driskell Center has incorporated various influences into the African American experience, offering various responses and interpretations of the work rendered, so your not just getting one polarized version of the art and its history. I am falling in love with this place already--exclusive rare pockets of knowledge, cool, interesting, interactive information for EVERYONE!
