"Sylvia"
2023-06-16 - 2023-06-17, 2023-06-22 - 2023-06-25 | Arkansas Public Theatre, 116 S. Second St., Rogers, AR, 72756, United States
Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after 22 years of child-raising in the suburbs. Greg’s career as a financial trader is winding down, while Kate’s career, as a public-school English teacher, is beginning to offer her more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park — or that has found him — bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her name tag. A street-smart mixture of Lab and poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.

Tour de BBQ Block Party
2024-06-01
Due to tornado damage from last weekend’s storms affecting trailways and the safety of our participants, we’ve had to make adjustments to this weekend’s Tour de BBQ benefiting Dress for Success NWA. As a fundraiser for Dress for Success and with many of our neighbors and BBQ providers facing significant challenges, we appreciate the overwhelming support from those who still want to come together to celebrate as a community in a safe manner.
We are excited to share that we will still be hosting the event, focusing on the Tour de BBQ Block Party. Participants can join us to enjoy delicious BBQ, uplift the community, and collect their event goodies.
However, the ride portion will be virtual, allowing you to complete it on your own once the trails are reopened. We will provide route links below for your reference.
In a heartwarming display of generosity, the BBQ providers attending the block party have made it possible for us to provide food for at least 200 tornado victims in addition to our registered participants. This amazing initiative not only supports Dress for Success but also many of the clients we serve who have been impacted by the recent storms.
Join us for the Tour de BBQ block party on 6/1/24 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Junk Brands Bentonville (1001 W. Melissa Drive – Bentonville, Arkansas). Let’s come together to support a great cause and celebrate as a community in a safe and meaningful way. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

WORLD PREMIERE
Two small-town paramedics are the first to arrive at a macabre scene. Since the cops got a flat, and there’s no help to render, all they can do is wait—until they realize every school bus in the county is about to drive right by. When the local star reporter arrives to film the whole fiasco, things go from bad to ridiculous. A genre-bending dark comedy about just trying to do the right thing.
