"The Revolutionists"
2022-05-06 - 2022-05-07, 2022-05-12 - 2022-05-15
Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold. For more details, visit https://www.arkansaspublictheatre.org.

Rich in tradition, this fun and festive celebration reflects the organization’s motto of “Celebrating Education, Culture and Community.” Proceeds from the festival benefit the HWOA Scholarship Fund. “The Cinco de Mayo Festival is an excellent opportunity for community interaction and a celebration of culture
and education,” said Margarita Solorzano, executive director of HWOA. “The festival not only
showcases Latino cultures but it also brings the community together in support of higher
education for Latino students.”
Since its inception in 2000, HWOA has awarded 529 scholarships to Hispanic students, with a
value ranging from $500 to $5,000 per scholarship, of which many recipients are first generation
college students. HWOA’s goal is to increase college enrollment opportunities for Hispanic
students. The scholarship award presentation will take place during the Festival at 6 p.m.
The Cinco de Mayo Festival is a community event, free to the public, with live music, traditional
folk dance performances from different countries, food, games, vendors, children’s activities,
Zumba, health fair and much more. The festival is family-oriented, giving local performers the
opportunity to showcase their diverse talents. Come have fun and support the HWOA

"ART"
2022-06-17 - 2022-06-18
Arkansas Public Theatre (APT) will present ART by Yasmina Reza, on June 17-18, 23-26, 2022.
From the writer of GOD OF CARNAGE and winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play and the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy, how much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? One of Marc’s best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. It’s about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc doesn’t have the proper standard to judge the work. Another friend, Ivan, though burdened by his own problems, allows himself to be pulled into this disagreement. Eager to please, Ivan tells Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over various failures. As their arguments become less theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their friendships. At the breaking point, Serge hands Marc a felt tip pen and dares him: “Go on.” This is where the friendship is finally tested, and the aftermath of action, and its reaction, affirms the power of those bonds.
Curtain time for Thursday through Saturday performances is 8 p.m. with Sunday performances at 2 p.m. Doors and Concessions open at 7:00 pm. Cabaret Seats are $40/per person or $70/table (includes 2 individual seats) and Balcony Seats are $30/per person or $45/2 seats. Group discounts for 20 or more guests are available by contacting the Box Office. Tickets may be purchased on the APT website at www.arkansaspublictheatre.org or at the APT Box Office at 479-631-8988. All performances will be held at the historic Victory Theater, 116 S 2nd St, Rogers, AR 72756.
