The Mystery Plays
2025-04-05 14:00 - 17:00 | Silver Spring Black Box Theatre, 8641 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, MD, 20910, United States
Lumina’s Ensemble presents The Mystery Plays by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
Parental guidance/content description: This production contains some physical violence and discussion of disturbing themes such as murder and child abuse, including descriptions of violent acts and some strong language. Parental discretion advised for audience members under age 12. This production is not suitable for audience members under age 9.
These journeys, our lives, are long and winding. Even the briefest ones are fraught with – are crowded with – what we can see, the physical world, and what we cannot… That which lies beyond our vision and our understanding.
Thus begins The Mystery Plays, an examination of the dark, cobwebbed corners of the human psyche and the mysteries that run through our lives. Reminiscent of The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, a mysterious man with a mysterious hat guides us through two stories – one, about a man’s brush with the supernatural on a train; the other, about a woman struggling to forgive her brother for a horrible act committed in their childhood.
“…stylish, spine-tingling…Mr. Aguirre-Sacasa uses standard tricks of horror stories, borrowing liberally from masters like Kafka, Lovecraft, Hitchcock…But his mastery of the genre is his own…irresistible.” —The New York Times.
Tickets for seniors are $12; all tickets are will-call. Buy tickets in advance at https://www.luminastudio.org/tickets/

AFI: Joan Baez I am a Noise
2025-04-08 18:30 - 20:30 | AFI/Silver Theatre, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, MD, 20910, United States
JOAN BAEZ I AM A NOISE is an unusually intimate psychological portrait of legendary folk singer and activist Joan Baez. Neither a conventional biopic nor a traditional concert film, this immersive documentary shifts back and forth through time as it follows Baez on her final tour and delves into her extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes and audio recordings. Throughout the film, Baez is remarkably revealing about her life onstage and off — from her lifelong emotional struggles to her civil rights work with Martin Luther King Jr. and a heartbreaking romance with a young Bob Dylan. A searingly honest look at a living legend, this film is a compelling and deeply personal exploration of an iconic artist who has never told the full truth of her life, as she experienced it, until now. DIR/PROD Miri Navasky, Karen O’Connor; DIR Maeve O’Boyle. U.S., 2023, color, 113 min. NOT RATED
Official film trailer at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhcV1gEat_c
At AFI/Silver Theatre Tuesday evening April 8. The film begins at 6:45pm, but Village members will buy their tickets and meet at 6:30 in the theatre lobby, so we can sit together.

The exhibition honors two groups – In Process and The Village of African American Doll & Puppet Artists as culture bearers, teachers, social advocates, and healers shaped by the Civil Rights and Black Arts Movements. This exhibition explores their intertwined histories and their relentless efforts to uplift and protect the legacy of African American communities through their traditional arts–spirituals, freedom songs, dolls, puppets, and textiles. The exhibition is curated by doll artist Camila Bryce-LaPorte.

The tour will be led by two of the featured visual and performing artists Francine Haskins and Julee Dickerson-Thompson.

The SPARKLE is a monthly program presented in collaboration with Silver Spring Town Center and Silver Spring Village.
