The Playground will be showcasing student playwrights at their Fall 2023 New Play Readings at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19, at Global Campus Theater. The event is free and open to the public.
The Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau opens a new entertainment series it’s calling “River Market Live” in Little Rock’s downtown River Market District this August.
For the past eight years, with the exception of last year, local judges and lawyers have performed a play centered around a real-life crime event that occurred in Bastrop County at the turn of the 20th century.
The plays, which are historically-accurate portrayals of murders and trials in the county, help fund the Bastrop County Bar Association’s Bobby Jenkins Scholarships, which assist high school students in the county with paying for college.
While the 2020 edition of the play was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the seventh edition of the play is set for later this month as live theater has returned with the reopening of the Bastrop Opera House in September.
