"Crumbs from the Table of Joy"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
In 1950, Godfrey Crump, widowed father of two teenage girls, moves his family from Pensacola, Florida to Brooklyn, NY after the passing of his wife, Sandra. Swallowed by depression and surrounded by hate, Godfrey seeks solace in Father Divine, religious figure of the Peace Mission Movement. Unexpectedly, his sister-in-law, Lily, moves in. Her proactive lifestyle, from partying to anti-racism protests, leads to many clashes between Lily and Godfrey, especially after he comes home with a very new, and very white German immigrant wife, Gerte. This play explores the unraveling fabric of a family that does its best to piece and patch their relationships. A collage of anger, oppression, and hope.
Directed by Crystal C. Mercer.
Tickets are $14, $10 for students and seniors age 65 and up. For reservations or more information call 501-374-3761 or visit www.weekendtheater.org.

"Evita"
Arkansas Repertory Theatre
Audiences will enjoy the ever-popular combination of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music and Tim Rice’s lyrics with Evita, the timeless rags-to-riches, Tony award-winning story that continues to fascinate audiences worldwide. A modern musical classic of sweeping grandeur and romantic passion, Evita provides a biography of the fascinating Argentine political leader Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentinean president Juan Perón. Immensely popular with ordinary Argentineans (but equally despised by the middle class and powerful factions in the army and political circles), Eva Perón rose from obscurity to political power and was eventually considered the spiritual leader of the country.
Evita previews are Wednesday, September 8 and Thursday, September 9 and include a pre-show discussion at 6:15 in the Theatre with Evita Director Cliff Fannin Baker and Rep Producing Artistic Director Bob Hupp.

"Chicago"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse. Music by John Kander. Lyrics by Fred Ebb, based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins.
In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap...until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Fighting for her life and the headlines, Roxie vies with double murderess Velma Kelly for celebrity attorney Billy Flynn, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune and acquittal. Premiering in 1996 and the hit of the 1997 Broadway season, Chicago won six Tony Awards including Best Revival and the 2003 Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year. Featuring a scintillating score, this sharp edged satire is a superbly crafted razzle-dazzle of musical theater.Directed by John Thompson, Music Direction by Jeannie Smith.

"Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
By Bert V. Royal.
Dog Sees God doesn’t feel like the same old high-school-warfare schlock. The characters—teenage and reckless—are both genuinely sympathetic and unquestionably cruel. Growing more hysterical— and more harrowing—as it flows to an inevitable, uncomfortable end, this taut comedy manages to make tired clichés about stoners and popular homecoming airheads funny and endearing. When CB’s dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push the teen to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that’s both haunting and hopeful.
Directed by Frank Butler.

"The Controversy of Valladolid"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
Jean-Claude Carrière, English version by Richard Nelson.
Jean-Claude Carrière’s fierce attack on the Catholic Church for its policies on human slavery makes for a refreshing change. Although based on a Spanish debate of 1550, Carrière’s stern historical drama hits a resounding contemporary note with its revelations of how the church agonized over its ultimate conclusion that indigenous American natives were children of God after all—after invading their land, destroying their culture, plundering their natural resources and subjecting thousands of people to servitude, torture and death. Imagine a time when the Catholic Church had the right to determine whether or not you were human. In a sixteenth-century Spanish monastery, the fate of millions of American natives from an ocean away hangs precariously in the balance. The Controversy of Valladolid, an exciting new masterwork by French playwright and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière, brings to light the shocking real-life debates whose outcomes are still felt today.

"Speech & Debate"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
By Stephen Karam.
A savvy comedy bristling with vitality, wicked humor, and terrific dialogue, Stephen Karam’s Speech & Debate creates a direct pipeline into the zeitgeist of contemporary youth. It has a keen ear for how teens speak, move and think, how they relate to their peers, and their view of the adult world, all while using the advantages and perils of cyberspace to make amusing, original points. The play’s true accomplishment is its picture of the borderland between late adolescence and adulthood, where grown-up ideas and ambitions coexist with childish will and bravado. Three teenage misfits in Salem, Oregon discover they are linked by a sex scandal that could rock their town. When one of them sets out to expose the truth, secrets become currency, the stakes get higher, and the trio’s connection grows deeper in this searching, fiercely funny dark comedy with music.

"Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
By August Wilson.
Winner of the 1985 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, by Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright August Wilson, is a searing, funny, salty, carnal and lyrical play, set in Chicago in the 1920s. Dealing with issues of race, art, religion and the historic exploitation of black recording artists by white producers, the play is titled with reference to a song of the same title by Ma Rainey referring to the Black Bottom dance. This glimpse of a moment in the twentieth century African American experience is a portrayal of rage, racism, self hate and exploitation.

The Hanging of David O. Dodd is an original two act tragedy written by Phillip H. McMath concerning an actual incident that occurred during the Civil War in Arkansas.

Yet Medora, in attempting to save the life of her own son, and Philomena, that of Dodd, find themselves united in a painful but profound confrontation with duty and mercy, peace and war, and faith and reason. This story focuses on dilemmas relevant to our own time as, in a different context, we still face these same eternal questions.Directed by Ralph Hyman.

"The Last Night of Ballyhoo"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
By Alfred Uhry.
The author of Driving Miss Daisy brings us another charming evening of theater. Winner of the 1997 Tony Award for Best Play, The Last Night of Ballyhoo takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, in December of 1939. Gone with the Wind is having its world premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but Atlanta’s elitist German Jews are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. Especially concerned is the Freitag family: bachelor Adolph; his widowed sister, Beulah (Boo) Levy; and their widowed sister-in-law, Reba. Boo is determined to have her dreamy, unpopular daughter, Lala, attend Ballyhoo, believing it will be Lala’s last chance to find a socially acceptable husband. Boo is directing Lala in pursuit of Peachy Weil, member of one of the finest Jewish families in the South, as her Ballyhoo escort. Adolph brings his new assistant, Joe Farkas, home for dinner. Joe is Jewish, Brooklyn born and bred, and he is puzzled at the family’s assimilation into Southern Christian culture, symbolized by the Christmas tree in the living room. The family is not without its own prejudices: Joe is of Eastern European descent and thus, in Boo’s eyes, socially inferior to the Freitags. Emotions explode when Reba’s daughter, Sunny, comes home from college and falls for Joe. It’s an evening of romance, comedy and revelations as members of this memorable family face where they come from and who they really are. Directed by Helene Rush.

Winner of 8 Tony Awards (including Best Musical), Hairspray (with music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan and based on the film by John Waters) is a joyous tribute to an era past, and an intelligent, warm, and joyous musical comedy that absolutely should not be missed.

"Good Boys and True"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester
By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
The hothouse atmosphere of all-male boarding schools has inspired a whole body of literature and drama exploring themes of friendship, romance, honor and betrayal. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s Good Boys and True is a solid addition to the canon. It’s a suspenseful mystery, compassionate character study and moving love story rolled into one—and a fine showcase for an ensemble of first-rate actors. Prep-school senior Brandon Hardy is brilliant, athletic, popular and charming— the kind of boy that St. Joes School is proud to call its own. However, his privileged life threatens to collapse when a disturbing videotape is found on campus. As the resulting scandal takes unexpected turns, Brandon’s mother Elizabeth must sort fact from fiction from family and confront unsettling truths about her son, herself, and their life. Be prepared for an engrossing drama that heightens suspense as it moves along and wherein not everything is what it seems.
