Review: MAIDEN VOYAGE, Southwark Playhouse Elephant
by Clementine Scott - Jul 29, 2025

Once reliable Oscar bait, the classic “inspirational” biopic become something of a social media punchline in recent years. They all have the same familiar beats – the humble beginnings, the early setbacks, the internal tensions, and the rising from the ashes – and rarely say anything new or unique to their particular subjects. Maiden Voyage, a new musical charting the first all-female circumnavigation of the globe, is unfortunately not an exception to the rule.

Review: LITTLE WOMEN THE MUSICAL with Studio 42 & Co at The Melody Theater in Leachville
by Theresa Bertram - May 16, 2025

It always excites me to visit a new theater, especially when it's a historic gem nestled in the heart of the Arkansas Delta. There’s a distinct charm stepping into The Melody Theater in Leachville, which began showing movies in 1948. The walls definitely echo with stories of performances past, so it was super cool to see Studio 42 & Co production of Little Women: The Musical (Book by Allan Knee, Music by Jason Howland, Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein),  come to life during the first weekend of May. Director Sarah Poe curated a remarkable cast that showcased just how rich Northeast Arkansas is in musical talent.
