"Cereal Inquiries"
now - July 20, 2008
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)
July 25 - 27, 2008 • 7:30pm
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.

"Southern Baptist Sissies"
August 22 - 23, 2008 • 7:30 pm
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester
By Del Shores.
A roller coaster of a play that takes audiences from heights of hilarity
through outrageous anger, and into caves of depression and out again,
this political and religious commentary is the story of four gay men in
a Southern Baptist Church in Texas and the various ways they cope when
they discover urges within themselves that go against the teachings of
their church. The damage of religion that preaches intolerance and foments
self-hatred and the repercussions of this brand of religion are seen throughout
the boys’ trek from pre-adolescence to adulthood: the pain, the
doubt, the self-loathing, the confusion. The script weaves together the
characters’ stories inserting Bible passages that support, contradict
and call into question the fundamentalists’ teachings about homosexuality.
Directed by Ralph Hyman.Fridays and Saturdays, curtain times are at 7:30pm,
