Stories of the world come alive at the Newseum, where you can go behind the scenes to experience how and why news is made. See some of the final photographs of the only journalist who died covering the 9/11 attacks, witness the epic struggle of the civil rights movement in the '60s, marvel at a comprehensive collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs and hear never-before-told stories from the journalists and photographers who stood on the front lines of history. This high-tech museum features seven levels of galleries and exhibits, including the Berlin Wall Gallery, which features eight 12-foot-high sections of the actual wall and a three-story East German guard tower. There are also theaters, retail spaces and visitor services where you can explore electronic news, unique artifacts, photojournalism, news history and world news. And, since there's so much to see, your ticket is good for two consecutive days. Take your time and see half the first day, then return the next day to catch what you missed. [less-]

Is there a more goosebump-raising romantic song than Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's "Falling Slowly?" You might say yes, but then you might have to come to blows to defend that position against the song's legion of devotees. It did, after all, inspire an Oscar-winning movie, "Once", (also starring the real-life musical duo) and a multiple-Tony-winning Broadway musical. "Once" the musical is a poignant ode to love, longing and the power of art, and now it comes to the stage at Olney Theatre Center. A talented cast of actor-musicians play their own instruments as they bring to life Hansard and Irglova's bittersweet songs, and the beautiful story they inspired. [less-]

Fans of sad-sack comedy found a new hero to root for after seeing Robert Kelly's lovably lovelorn turn as Louie CK's brother on FX's "Louie". Onstage, the shiny-domed Kelly is no less self-deprecating, but amps up the energy with fast-talking riffs on life, relationships, food and everything in between. Cocky yet humble, his is a very specific strain of high-octane vulnerability that will leave you wanting to hug him as you try to recover from laughing uncontrollably. Try to restrain yourself as Kelly stops by Magooby's Joke House in Lutherville, where he is as likely to wax on the perils of traditional masculinity as he is to opine for green apples that taste like mac 'n' cheese.

Oil -- there’s no escaping the fact that it’s at the heart of modern life, powering the world to previously unimaginable heights. But one day that will end. Called “scorchingly ambitious,” ("The Guardian"), the innovative drama "Oil" traces the life of this transformative resource, from its first boom in 1889 to its inevitable demise in the not-too-distant-future -- all seen through the eyes of a single mother and her daughter. Across five separate but connected playlets, the duo spans the globe and decades, struggling to survive by any means necessary. Ella Hickson, a young playwright making waves in the U.K., tackles big ideas of feminism, imperialism and environmentalism in this genre-busting tale that makes its American premiere at Olney Theatre Center.

If millions of people hadn't already seen it on YouTube, nobody would believe Christina Bianco's cover of "Let it Go." Indeed, it's hard to believe one performer could impersonate Idina Menzel, not to mention Bernadette Peters, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Kristin Chenoweth, Adele, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, Kelly Clarkson and Liza Minnelli, without dropping a note or breaking character. But Bianco can, as she proved on "Ellen" when she brought the studio audience to their feet with an equally rousing (and varied) rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Now, Bianco, two-time Drama Desk Award nominee with an incredible voice all her own, takes center stage at the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda with Jack Everly conducting the BSO SuperPops.
