THIS WEEK’S SPECIAL EVENTS!

As we finalize our schedule for our first ever Arkansas New Play Festival (latest schedule updates will be posted online at www.theatresquared.org” href=”http://www.theatresquared.org”>www.theatresquared.org, we wanted to alert you to a special opportunity to meet the local playwrights!

TUESDAY, MARCH 10 @ 7PM
Shiloh Museum in Springdale
Admission is FREE

Playwright and screenwriter Kevin Cohea and historian Krista Jones will discuss Mr. Cohea’s new play, “Sundown Town”.

“Sundown Town” is a riveting drama set in the fictitious Northwest Arkansas town of Healing Springs in the early 20th century. A new hand at a local farm, an African American from Louisiana, runs afoul of the town’s “sundown laws,” which forbid blacks from entering town after dark. The original play includes traditional white gospel music.

WEDNEDSAY, MARCH 11 @ 5:30PM
Crystal Bridges at the Massey in Bentonville
Admission is FREE

Award-winning playwright and novelist Robert Ford will be joined by Arkansas historian Dr. Jeannie Whayne to discuss Mr. Ford’s new play, “Look Away, Look Away”.

Set in Mississippi County in the 1930s, award-winning playwright Robert Ford’s ”Look Away, Look Away” is based on the true story of two young African American men who, fleeing a lynch mob, throw themselves on the mercy of the powerful Wilson family.

COMING UP SOON!

THE DRAWER BOY

Walton Arts Center’s Nadine Baum Studios

It’s 1972. An idealistic young actor plants himself on a farm to research “rural living” for a new script he’s developing. Comedy ensues, but before long he unwittingly turns up decades of deception in the form of buried memories of love and war. In the end, three lives are forever altered when the line between truth and fiction is crossed. A touching, funny play about
friendship, heartbreak and redemption. click here for tickets!
