"Custom by Design: Contemporary Furniture Handmade in Arkansas" Exhibit
Historic Arkansas Museum, Gallery II

Custom by Design highlights the artistry in handmade, one-of-a-kind studio furniture created in Arkansas. The exhibit includes works by: Tommy Farrell, Mia Hall, Keith Newton, Whitney Patterson, 2009 Arkansas Living Treasure Doug Stowe and Lucas Strack. The furniture pieces on display are rooted in the traditional processes of craft and material with aspects of sculpture, innovation, experimentation and cross-pollination from other disciplines. The common thread in the exhibited works is the notion of function. Each artist has, however, pushed the notion of the traditional every-day furniture by infusing the objects with unique aesthetics, non-traditional materials or concept and narrative.

Historic Arkansas Museum is open 9am-5pm, Monday through Saturday and 1-5pm on Sunday. Admission to the galleries and parking are free; tours of historic grounds are $2.50 for adults, $1.00 for children under 18, $1.50 for senior citizens.

"World of the Pharaohs" Exhibit
Arkansas Arts Center

The Arkansas Arts Center is proud to announce it will present the epic exhibition 'World of the Pharaohs" Egyptian Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.  
 “World of the Pharaohs will be the first exhibition of Egyptian art to come to Arkansas,” said Arkansas Arts Center Executive Director Nan Plummer.  “The Arkansas Arts Center is committed to bringing the best art to our state. The art of this amazing ancient culture is utterly fascinating—and important—to human beings all over the world. To see 3,000 years of advanced civilization right here in Little Rock,—it’s a thrill that Arkansans deserve,” she said.

Spanning more than 3,000 years of dynastic history, "World of the Pharaohs" consists of more than 200 objects.  The exhibition dramatically illustrates the rich and diverse aspects of one of the world's great civilizations and is particularly strong in excavated material from the Pyramid age (2675-2130 B.C.), widely regarded as Egypt's finest hour. Artifacts include a royal decree carved in limestone (Decree of Neferirkare), the false of Inty, a Priestess of Inty and a relief scene from the tomb of Qar and Idu.  Funerary objects are also well-represented.  Among them are a Ptolemaic sarcophagus lid, a selection of stelae and several shawabits of officials.  Other objects include a wooden granary model, stone vessels, ceramics, jewelry, amulets and a cat mummy.  “The Arkansas Arts Center is the only museum in Arkansas that can host an exhibition of this size and magnitude.  We are excited to host this exhibition, and think our donors and sponsors will be proud to be part of this major event that will put Arkansas on the map of the art world in a whole new way.”

"A Dark, Dark House"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

A Dark, Dark House, by Neil LaBute. 

This absorbing puzzle play, concerning repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse and involving classically brutish brothers, takes place in a fancy institution for the dangerously self-medicated. A cruel father and a sexually predatory young man represent two dark forces. Their actions affected two brothers differently, but clearly left a dark, dark imprint on their psyches. Helping to understand the psyche of the American male, this provocative and sexualized mystery plumbs adolescence in American lives: how it can be warped, stolen, frozen and willfully extended. What went on in that “dark, dark house” shows the ripple and long-term effects of family dysfunction and violence, that shared trauma can poison kinship and ricochet down to subsequent generations? Directed by Duane Jackson.

Sandwiching in History - The Reutlinger House
12 PM
2005 South Spring Street

Completed circa 1902, this house is an excellent example of the Dutch Colonial Revival style in the Governor's Mansion Historic District, which boasts some of Little Rock's most impressive historic homes.  From 1902 until 1956, the Jean Reutlinger family resided in this house.  Reutlinger was the president of Brockman Commission and Cold Storage Company.  The house was completely restored in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The "Sandwiching In History" program is a series of tours that seeks to familiarize people who live and work in central Arkansas with the historic structures and sites around us. The tours themselves typically occur at noon of the first Friday of each month, last less than an hour, and participants are encouraged to bring their lunches so that they can eat while listening to a brief lecture about the property and its history before proceeding on a short tour. A representative from the property is encouraged to attend also and address the group.

The tours are organized by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage. All tours are free and open to the public.

"The Last White Class"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

The Last White Class by Marge Piercy and Ira Wood.

The Last White Class: A Play about Neighborhood Terror is about an African American family in a white neighborhood during the introduction of bussing in Boston. In response to Boston’s public school desegregation by court order in 1974, this play is a tale of inner-city whites, many of Irish or Italian descent, who believe the institution of public education will cease to exist once “TLWC”--The Last White Class--ends its senior year. It is a tale about African Americans who were not prepared for the surge in hostility, about small pieces of neighborhood turf becoming battlefields, about impoverished participants in the social experiment, black and white. Told with humor, insight and passion, the story is larger than Boston, larger than bussing, helping us to understand what once seemed incomprehensible and to realize that to understand is indeed to forgive. Directed by Ralph Hyman

"Sordid Lives"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

Sordid Lives by Del Shores.

Winner of 14 Drama League Awards including Best Production, Sordid Lives is the story of unconditional love, acceptance and “coming out” in a Texas family, as they all converge for the matriarch’s funeral. The eccentric characters include: a mother who is wound-too-tight and in-denial over her gay son, a barfly/singer at the local watering hole, a cheating heart who’s wooden legs accidentally aid in the death of his mistress (the family matriarch), the cheating heart’s wife who tries her hand at revenge therapy inspired by “Thelma & Louise” along with her best friend. Led by comedic voices, their lives intertwine, giving each a new perspective, honesty and meaning. Directed by Andy Hall.

Dying City
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

Dying City, by Christopher Shinn.

Dying City, a political play, is also a psychodrama about what Arthur Miller called the politics of the soul. It’s about public conscience and private grief, and real and symbolic catastrophes. A year after her husband’s death in Iraq, Kelly, a young therapist, confronts his identical-twin gay brother, Peter, who shows up at her apartment unannounced. Trying to make sense of what is left behind, Christopher Shinn’s remarkable tale of loss and how two very different people handle their grief is personal, intimate even, yet it's themes could not be more all-encompassing and its emotional impact more affecting. In this subtle and revealing play, Shinn is able to take the political and humanize it, transforming the study of daily news stories into a devastating statement on the unforeseen and often hidden consequences of war. Directed by Ralph Hyman.

"Summertree"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

Summertree by Ron Cowen.

Winner of Off-Broadway’s Vernon Rice Award and concerned with the problems and fears of young people in today’s uncertain world, this honest crucial play is both a joyous expression of the good things in life and a powerful indictment of war and the senseless waste which it can bring. Travel with our Young Man as he remembers his youth, his love, his terror, and the idiosyncrasies of living. This is a story that will question where we came from, where we’re going and most important where we are now and what do we truly value. There’s a beauty and elegance to the writing that elevates the play to the level of poetry. Cowen has distilled this bittersweet part of the human experience to its essence. Directed by Ralph Hyman.

"Glengarry Glen Ross"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet.

More pertinent than ever in today’s gravely compromised political atmosphere, this Pulitzer Prize winning tale of cutthroat competition among desperate real estate salesmen needles into businessmen and, by extrapolation, into American corporate practices. With obscenities as common as conjunctions, these hardened hucksters hustle worthless Florida land developments on the easily deluded. Insults rage. Tempers flare. Reveling in obscenity and scatology, the alpha-male animals of “Glengarry”, metaphor for the greedy in The American Corporation, practice the art of the deal, the hard sell, the scam, mesmerizing the honest and honorable public as easily as a viper does its prey. Directed by John Haman.
