After a four-year hiatus, due in smaller part to the covid-19 pandemic but more directly because of the rebuilding of what used to be the Arkansas Arts Center into the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, the institution s Children s Theatre is back in a new form but in its old space.
Campers! It s almost time to head back to Camp Onomatopoeia for new weekly episodes of fun and adventures with Blueberry and her pals on "Blueberry s Clubhouse."
When I heard the montage of 80s music blaring and saw the beautiful African-American art donning the Arkansas Repertory Theatre lobby, I knew SCHOOL GIRLS; OR THE AFRICAN MEAN GIRLS PLAY by Jocelyn Bioh, which is playing through March 20, was going to be awesome (80s slang intended)! Set in Ghana at the Aburi Girls' boarding school in 1986, the play touches on social nerves like familial status, school hierarchy, and color of the skin. Directed by Sha Cage, this group of storytellers told a tale that still rings true today.
