| | BIGKID DANCE:
If I Die Before the Revolution
WORLD PREMIERE
Saturday, January 24th, 2026 @ 7:30PM
Tickets from $41 to $51
Philadelphia's BigKid Dance presents the world premiere performance of their newest contemporary dance-theater work, If I Die Before the Revolution, this fall at Maryland Hall.
If I Die Before the Revolution acts as a fantasized eulogy and valediction for a group of queer people trying to survive a crumbling world chasing them to their doom.
This dance work portrays a paracosm of a queer experience in today’s society, reflecting fear, love, identity crisis, loneliness, death, a yearning for unrealized dreams and a hope to leave behind an impactful legacy.
Led by luminary artistic director Mark Caserta, Big Kid Dance is a queer movement community based in Philadelphia. They create collaborative, thought-provoking contemporary dance works reflecting on love, grief, curiosity, fear and identity in today’s society primarily through a queer lens. | Buy Tickets |
| | An Evening with Branford Marsalis
Sunday, March 1st, 2026 @ 7PM
Tickets from $41 to $111
An icon returns to the heart of the jazz world — and the Maryland Hall stage.
Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is a legend in motion. An NEA Jazz Master, Grammy Award winner, and Tony and EMMY nominee, Marsalis has spent decades redefining the boundaries of jazz — from symphony stages to jam sessions with the Grateful Dead. But at the core of his world lies the Branford Marsalis Quartet: a powerhouse ensemble celebrated for its precision, depth, and daring musicality.
With over 30 years of synergy and nearly no lineup changes, the Quartet commands the stage with original compositions and masterful interpretations of jazz and pop classics. Their latest release, Belonging (Blue Note Records), reimagines Keith Jarrett’s iconic 1974 album with bold emotion and brilliance. As The New York Times praised, it’s “a performance that both honors and amplifies.”
Expect an evening that’s intimate, explosive, cerebral — and unforgettable. | Buy Tickets |
