"Cereal Inquiries"
Arkansas Arts Center
Tom Richard is an Arkansas artist working in mixed media on paper and wood. A professor of Fine Art at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, Richard explores contemporary life through his humorous Chapter Series of drawings that combine imagery from popular culture with philosophical treatises by modernist and postmodernist theorists. By combining these seemingly disparate sources he restructures their meaning allowing the viewer to see the familiar pop icons (Gumby, G I Joe, Fat Albert) again for the first time.

"Godspell" (Musical)
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester
Score by Stephen Schwartz; book by John-Michael Tebelak.
Based on the Gospel according to St Matthew, Godspell deals with the last days of Jesus. Yet it is something more - a religious experience, a demonstration of joy, and a celebration of the family of man. Godspell is cheerfully irreverent, spirited, loving, sprinkled with wry humor and bolstered with a good selection of songs—rock, folk, country and pop—all neatly woven in and around the parables and teachings of Jesus. However, it is a show that is more respectful than it is respectable. Basically, Godspell is an agape — a love-feast —dedicated to light and joy and love. Directed by Jamie Scott Blakey, Music Direction by Lori Isner.
Fridays and Saturdays, curtain times are at 7:30pm, for special Sunday showings (Musicals only) curtain times are at 2:30pm.
Tickets: $14.00 ($10.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Dramas and $18.00 ($14.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Musicals. Tickets can be purchased at the theater with cash, check, Mastercard or Visa.

"Godspell" (Musical)
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester
Score by Stephen Schwartz; book by John-Michael Tebelak.
Based on the Gospel according to St Matthew, Godspell deals with the last days of Jesus. Yet it is something more - a religious experience, a demonstration of joy, and a celebration of the family of man. Godspell is cheerfully irreverent, spirited, loving, sprinkled with wry humor and bolstered with a good selection of songs—rock, folk, country and pop—all neatly woven in and around the parables and teachings of Jesus. However, it is a show that is more respectful than it is respectable. Basically, Godspell is an agape — a love-feast —dedicated to light and joy and love. Directed by Jamie Scott Blakey, Music Direction by Lori Isner.
Fridays and Saturdays, curtain times are at 7:30pm, for special Sunday showings (Musicals only) curtain times are at 2:30pm.
Tickets: $14.00 ($10.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Dramas and $18.00 ($14.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Musicals. Tickets can be purchased at the theater with cash, check, Mastercard or Visa.
