When Amani's mother dies, the world shakes. Her father vows to make it to outer space, where there are no gangs to take his love's life, no prisons to take Black boys' best years. Amani grows up building a rocket ship with her father. As she moves into adulthood, Amani seeks her voice and her own dreams. Will Amani make it to the 'moon'?

Proceeds benefit the TU Foundation.

"Amani" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. <a href="https://www.concordtheatricals.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.concordtheatricals.com</a>

Performances run from May 1st-2nd at 7:30PM, May 3rd at 2:00PM, &amp; May 7th-9th at 7:30PM.

Ruin is a Philadelphia-based printmaker, shadow puppeteer, and paper-cut artist. His work oscillates between the poles of apocalyptic anxieties and utopian yearnings, with an emphasis on empathy, transcendence and obsessive detail. He frequently works collaboratively with musicians, theater performers, other artists and activist campaigns. In addition to performing widely, he is a founding member of the international Justseeds Artists' Cooperative, and co-author of the book Paths Toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism. His most recent project is the Ominous Cloud Ensemble, an ever-evolving, collectively-improvising large ensemble for projections and music.

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
