"Navigating Vernacular(s)" - Exhibit
Historic Arkansas Museum

McEntire creates visual narratives by borrowing images from both popular culture and underground punk youth subcultures, and reproducing them into her own line drawings. Through her work, McEntire communicates her personal history and emotional past. “I am generally interested in feminist issues such as sexuality, identity, objectification, emotions, and self-reflection,” McEntire states. “Speaking simultaneously to women's broad history and my own life experiences, my recent work has been based on the power of interpersonal relationship to affect transformation, identity, sentimentality, sensitivity and longing.”

Historic Arkansas Museum is open 9am-5pm. Monday through Saturday, 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.

"Lee and Grant" - Exhibit
MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History

On April 9, 1865 after four years of conflict, approximately 630,000 deaths and over one million casualties, General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, signaling the end of the Civil War. The terms agreed to by the two became the model for other surrenders that soon followed. By the end of the Civil War, most Americans considered Lee and Grant to be heroes. This exhibit looks at the lasting impact that Lee and Grant have had on our society, not only through the war years but directly after the war during the Reconstruction Era, into the 20th and 21st centuries. The exhibit funded and provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Virginia Historical Society will feature artifacts, interactive displays, and engaging text.

"Thresholds: Landscape, Memory and Architecture" Exhibit
Historic Arkansas Museum

Presented in conjunction with the Arkansas Arts Council (AAC). This exhibit pairing two contemporary Arkansas artists, Jeri Hillis and Deborah Warren, both living in Hot Springs, was created with resources identified in the Arkansas Artist Registry, a program of AAC.

Jeri Hillis’s oil paintings and mixed media collages express her fascination with time and memory. Skillfully executed large oil paintings depict architectural elements weathered by time. Her work questions the thresholds between what is real and what is imagined. Jeri Hillis, resident of Hot Springs, Arkansas, since 2005, is a noted Caribbean artist. She lived and worked on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands from 1989-2003. Known for her large oil paintings and mixed media collages inspired by the old Danish Colonial architecture of the islands with stone archways, shuttered windows and weathered passageways, she has exhibited in museums and galleries in France, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands Antilles, Haiti, Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, St. Croix, New England, and Arkansas. Her work is held in numerous private collections.  In 2008, she was selected for the “Small Works on Paper Exhibition” for which she received a purchase award for the permanent collection of the Arkansas Arts Council.

Deborah Warren’s toned gelatin silver prints and archival pigment prints focus on, she says, “the changing landscape in its most elemental forms, the myths and folklore associated with a sense of place, and the architecture designed to frame the landscape.” Deborah Warren began her career in Memphis, Tennessee, making documentary films about community issues and cultural traditions of Tennessee and the Mississippi Delta. Since 1989, she has worked as a fine art photographer in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Her portfolios include landscapes and historic architecture of America, Italy, and Cuba.  She was selected as the 2007 Woman to Watch (Photography) by the Arkansas Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, a program designed “to increase the visibility of, and critical response to, promising women artists who are deserving of national and international attention.”  Her work has won numerous awards.

Historic Arkansas Museum is open 9am-5pm. Monday through Saturday, 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.

"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.

The Loony Bin presents James Johann
Breckenridge Village Shopping Center

James Johann was born in the Midwest during the 70's era of bell-bottom jeans, wood paneled station wagons and disco music. His childhood upbringing was significantly influenced by country music, countless bad haircuts and heavy doses of Catholic school. In 1991, after being fired from several "McJobs", James began his standup career in Kansas City. But don't let James' boyish appearance fool you; he's a ten-year veteran of the stand-up comedy circuit. His self-deprecating sense of humor and high-energy style all come together to create a unique onstage persona. James relies more on his brain than the profane, and his comedy often hits upon the universal theme of failure, and provides a truthful and hilarious reflection of life as he sees it. For more information, visit www.jamesjohann.com.

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

The Loony Bin presents Tony Tone
Breckenridge Village Shopping Center

Tony Tone a/k/a Tony Luewellyn is a veteran comedian/ actor who for the last 17 years has set the mood for continuous entertainment with his mastery of impressions and real life humor. For the last three years Tony Tone served as Ringmaster for the historic UniverSoul Circus, also known as “Hip-Hop Under the Big Top,” allowing him to showcase his comedic talents to an entire new audience. The New York Times raved about Tone’s performance declaring, “he delivers ad libs…that a lesser professional would milk too hard.” From the moment Tony Tone’s spontaneous personality steps on stage, all eyes are on him, the laughter begins and is never ending. Anything from anecdotes of family members, playing out the roles of the good ol' boys, to the impressions of familiar household names, Tony is the cutting edge of comedy. There is truly no adjective to define his unique style.

Auto Extravaganza
Statehouse Convention Center

Presented By O’Reilly Auto Parts.

Big names in classic car creations are coming to the 4th Annual Auto Extravaganza, January 8-10, 2010.  This car show is an indoor cavalcade of everything automotive.  “The Cars are the Stars” continues to be the tag line for the 2010 show and rightfully so.

“We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to display some of the most magnificent national award-wining vehicles again for the 2010 show including Don Smith’s Green 32 Sedan, Hot Rod of the Year Finalist,” says Carol Dolan, event chair.  “The 2010 marquee vehicles that will be on display is just as impressive, if not better, than the 2009 schedule.  Also joining the impressive line-up is George Poteet’s 1969 Plymouth Cuda called Gold Blowfish built by Rad Rides by Troy!  George’s Cuda is record-holding at the Bonneville Salt Flats in the Blown Fuel Comp Coupe C Class.  Additionally, George Barris joins the celebrity line-up along with the original 1966 Batmobile that he designed and built for the 1960’s television show.  I believe this will be very popular for everyone, as well as the Barris’ Batmobile souvenir display case.”

The 2010 Awards and Cash Prizes have taken an explosive new twist with The Trick 6 Awards and Top of the Rock:  The new award called Top of the Rock, which is our best of show, will received a $5,000 cash prize.

Charley Hutton, tagged as one of the most Famed Custom Street Rod Painter in America has just confirmed his attendance and agreed to select and present Best Paint during Sunday’s award ceremony! 

“This is just the icing on the cake as we continue to enhance our January 2010 show,” says Dolan.  “We are honored to have Charley join us, and we know he will be very popular with all car enthusiasts especially those who are actually competing in the show.”  The Best Paint award will receive a cash prize of $1,000.

New for the 2010 show is a “Panel Jam.”  The artists include Paul Quinn, Design Brilliance, Jeremy Seanor, Howie Nisgor, Brian Papa, Matt Burfield and Zeke Lemanski.

Live entertainment includes Little Rock’s own Southern Rock Band, CRISIS, as well as Tony Witt-A Tribute to Elvis.

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.

Robinson Center Music Hall

Saturday, 8pm and Sunday, 3pm.

Andre Raphel Smith, conductor
Philippe Quint, violin
 
BEETHOVEN Overture to King Stephan
SIBELIUS Violin Concerto
BRAHMS Symphony No. 1
 
An audience favorite for more than a century, Sibelius’s Violin Concerto is a beautiful combination of lyricism and virtuosity—perfect for displaying the fiery talents of our soloist. As the Daily Telegraph raved, “From the moment he takes the stage, Grammy Award-nominee violinist Philippe Quint captivates audiences with his charismatic presence.” André Raphel Smith leads Brahms’s gripping First Symphony, which begins with a dramatic pulse in the timpani and ends with bright and brilliant horn calls.

"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.
