Celebrate with Baltimore's Warren Wolf as we enjoy the release of his new album, SMOOVE, out April 2026! SMOOVE is an album designed for music lovers of R&B, gospel, soul and fusion jazz. Songs such as “Yesterday”, “Take Five”, “Some Skunk Funk” will be featured.

Warren Wolf is an acclaimed jazz vibraphonist known for his sophisticated, exploratory, nearly acrobatic post-bop style that moved one critic to exclaim that “he plays the vibraphone like an electric guitar!” From the young age of three years old, Warren has been trained on the vibraphone/marimba, drums, and piano. Under the guidance of his father Warren Wolf Sr., Warren has a deep background in all genres of music. Warren has performed and/or recorded with such luminaries as Bobby Watson, Christian McBride, Wynton Marsalis, Christian Scott, Robert Glasper, Esperanza Spalding, and others. Warren Wolf is one of the hardest swinging virtuosos in all of modern music.

A free conversation between three Hollywood greats who are also Johns Hopkins alumni.
In celebration of Johns Hopkins' Sesquicentennial and MICA’s Bicentennial we will be hosting three distinguished Hopkins alumni at the Parkway Theatre on Thursday, April 16 at 7:00PM. 
Caleb Deschanel is a six-time Academy Award nominee in cinematography and winner of the American Society of Cinematographers Outstanding Achievement Award. His thirty-two major Hollywood films include The Black Stallion, Being There, The Right Stuff and The Natural. Walter Murch is a three-time Academy Award winner (and six-time nominee). He is known for his work as a ground-breaking editor credited with the invention of cinematic sound design. His work includes Apocalypse Now, The Godfather I and II, The Conversation, Ghost, and The English Patient. Matthew Robbins, Cannes Film Festival Award-winning screenwriter and director, wrote Steven Spielberg’s first feature film, The Sugarland Express, and worked with Spielberg on the screenplays for Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, as well as the original screenplay for George Lucas’s first feature, THX 1138. He has worked extensively with director Guillermo del Toro, and most recently co-wrote Brad Bird’s upcoming feature, Ray Gunn. The longtime friends’ stories are intertwined with the birth of film studies at Johns Hopkins, thirty years before film was an official major. They made their first films at Johns Hopkins; founded a film society; and were actively involved in Baltimore’s arts community. Essential pioneers of the New Hollywood in the 1970s, they have worked (and continue to work) with the most important filmmakers of the past 60 years.  They will discuss their time at JHU and their early film careers, key films from their later careers, and their ongoing friendship. The conversation will be moderated by JHU Film and Media Studies faculty member Linda DeLibero.

A group of teenage girls creates mass hysteria as they accuse fellow villagers of witchcraft in the rigid Puritan society of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The accused face the choice of maintaining their ideals or conforming in order to survive in this play about the dangers of unchecked fear, the fragility of justice, and the consequences of history.

Based on the beloved Newbery Medal- and National Book Award-winning novel—and the hit 2003 film starring Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, and Jon Voight—this theatrical adaptation is a thrilling ride for audiences of all ages. When teenager Stanley Yelnats is hit by a pair of falling sneakers, his unlucky family curse strikes again. Wrongly convicted of stealing the sneakers and sent to the mysterious Camp Green Lake, Stanley joins a ragtag group of boys digging endless holes under the blistering sun—all in the name of building character. But as the layers of dirt pile up, so do the secrets buried beneath them. Part mystery, part adventure, and packed with heart, Holes is a wildly imaginative tale about friendship, fate, and the courage it takes to rewrite your story. Holes is “a fast-paced and inventive family show that works on every level” (The Stage).
