By Sache J. Satta
Towson University's month-long Summer at The Center Festival is proud to host Sache J. Satta’s ‘Lily, Arthur’. Set in 1943, ‘Lily, Arthur’ follows Private “Mac” McAllister, a young accompanist assigned to perform with Miss Lily Arthur, a singer entertaining the troops. Lily is, in fact, the alter ego of Captain Arthur Lily of the U.S. Army. When Mac is asked to create a female persona and perform a “sister act,” he becomes entangled in a complex romantic triangle involving Arthur and Captain Connie Heller of the Women’s Army Corps. The play traces Mac’s awakening as a proud gay man on the threshold of the postwar homophile movement.

Join Carolyn Black-Sotir and American Music Theatre Artists for a rousing tribute to America’s greatest cultural treasure—the Broadway musical. Spanning more than 130 years, the program features work by iconic composers and lyricists whose music reflects the social, political, and cultural moments that have shaped our nation.&nbsp;
Steeped in the music, movement, and words of the American people, the Broadway musical is an essential part of our heritage—connecting us to our past while offering insight into the present. The program traces the influence of immigrant communities and African American artists in shaping this uniquely American art form.&nbsp;
At a time when the nation remains deeply divided, Give My Regards to Broadway reminds us of the beauty and power that emerge when diverse voices, cultures, and ideas come together. Join Carolyn and company as they invite you to “come along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway.”
This program is part of Towson University's month-long Summer at The Center Festival.

Same-day dental implants at Towson Implant and Surgery House

Implant and Surgery House

Residents in Towson now have access to faster, more efficient dental implant treatment. Implant &amp; Surgery House is offering same-day dental implant solutions, allowing many patients to receive fixed teeth in as little as 24 hours. Traditional implant treatments often take months and require multiple visits. By using digital planning, guided surgery, and an in-house workflow, the clinic is able to significantly reduce treatment time and streamline care. This approach also helps improve accessibility. Because procedures are handled in-house, patients can benefit from more efficient scheduling and transparent pricing. In addition, modern implant techniques allow many patients to avoid more complex procedures, such as bone grafting, depending on their individual case. As demand for faster, patient-centered care grows, same-day implant solutions are becoming an increasingly popular option in the Towson area. 📍 Learn More https://www.implantandsurgeryhouse.com
